Trinity Community Project - Future Projects
Following feedback from members, and with the support of the ambitions Board of Trustees, Trinity Community Project is looking to expand its current offering in the following ways.
Growing the Trinity Community Project in Hatfield
We are delighted that the Trinity Community Project is now running every week at our new Hatfield venue at 25 St Albans Road East, Hatfield, AL10 0EJ.
The new Hatfield service provides adults with learning disabilities and mental health challenges with a welcoming place to meet, socialise, learn new skills and take part in meaningful activities. Our weekly sessions are already underway, and we are seeing the potential for the service to become an important part of the local community.
However, there is much more we would like to do.
Helping us make the most of our Hatfield premises
The building gives us a fantastic opportunity to develop a wider range of services and activities, but the premises currently need further investment to make them suitable for the longer-term future of the project.

We are therefore looking for funding, donations and practical support to help us improve the space and create a more welcoming, accessible and flexible environment for the people who use our services.
Improvements to the premises will help us to:
- create dedicated spaces for different activities
- improve the accessibility and usability of the building
- provide suitable furniture and equipment
- create a warm, welcoming and comfortable environment
- support a wider range of activities, including cooking, exercise, arts and crafts and life-skills sessions
- make better use of the available space so that we can increase the number and range of sessions we offer
- ensure the environment is safe, appropriate and supportive for the people who attend.
These improvements are about much more than making the building look better. A suitable, well-equipped environment will allow us to do more. It will enable us to offer more activities, welcome more people and develop the service as a sustainable community resource for Hatfield and the surrounding area.
What we'd like to develop
As the service grows, we would like to introduce additional days and activities based around the interests and needs of our members. These could include cooking, creative activities, exercise and fitness, practical and life skills, social activities and opportunities to build confidence and independence.
We also want to continue helping people access their wider community through activities and outings to local parks, cafés, shops, leisure facilities, community events and other local amenities.
Can you help us?
We have already taken the important first step by getting the service up and running. Now we need help to develop the premises so that we can unlock its full potential.
If you are a local business, community group, funder or individual who could help us with funding, materials, equipment, practical support or expertise, we would love to hear from you.
Together, we can turn our Hatfield premises into a vibrant, inclusive community space where adults with learning disabilities and mental health challenges can meet, learn, have fun and develop their independence.

Out and about in the community
Alongside the expansion of the Trinity Community Project at Hatfield URC, we are also seeking support to introduce a new initiative focused on taking our work out into the wider community. This initiative recognises that not everyone is able to access or benefit fully from sessions delivered within a fixed venue, and that confidence, independence, and wellbeing are often best developed in real-world settings.
The Out and About in the Community initiative will support participants to engage with local spaces and activities in a structured, supported, and safe way. This may include visits to parks, cafés, shops, leisure facilities, community events, and other local amenities. These activities are designed to help individuals build confidence, develop social and life skills, and feel more connected to the community around them.
For many participants, accessing public spaces can be challenging due to anxiety, sensory sensitivities, communication barriers, or a lack of previous opportunity. By providing consistent support and familiar staff or volunteers, the project will help reduce these barriers and enable participants to take part in everyday community life that many people take for granted.
Funding for this initiative will be used to:
- Cover transport costs to ensure participants can safely access community locations
- Pay for staffing and volunteer support to maintain appropriate ratios and safeguarding
- Provide resources and equipment needed for activities outside the main premises
- Support entry fees or participation costs where required
- Ensure activities are planned, risk-assessed, and inclusive
This initiative is not about one-off trips, but about creating regular, meaningful opportunities for participants to practice skills, build independence, and develop confidence in real-life settings. Over time, this will help individuals feel more comfortable navigating their local community and strengthen their sense of belonging.
The Out and About in the Community initiative will complement our venue-based sessions by extending learning and support beyond the walls of our premises.
Together, these strands will allow the Trinity Community Project to offer a more holistic, flexible, and impactful service that meets people where they are and supports them to thrive within their community.
