## MOTTO: Faith in Action
STRAPLINE: Trinity Hub where Christian faith and daily life meet
AIM: To establish a welcoming, vibrant, stimulating and professional facility in which all members of the community can enjoy social, educational and leisure activities and feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.
VISION: A progressive, growing and dynamic place of Christian worship and mission.
## **Trinity Methodist Church is a thriving place of worship, which has a Community Hub which runs alongside the usual services and church activities.**
## **ROOM HIRERS**
We now have 80+ Room Hirers across the two sites of the main hub and The Toll House.
We are the home of the Ribble Valley Foodbank, Children’s and Young Persons Mental Health Services, Inspire Drug and Rehabilitation Services, Citizens Advice Bureau and a number of support groups for bereavement, dementia and suicide loss.
## **COMMUNITY**
Trinity has an excellent relationship with Clitheroe Churches, which sees us host joint events such as a Summer Holiday Club, Joy to the World and Live at the Castle.
We rent our Hub spaces to private local businesses, charities and community groups, and offer subsidised rates for the latter.
There is no discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
## **ECO GARDEN**
Our Community Eco Garden, which gained a Level 4 Thriving at the Britain in Bloom, It’s Your Neighbourhood Awards, is run and maintained entirely by volunteers. We have a fruitful veg patch and a stunning Living Wall.
Local Guides, Brownies, and children attending the Creation Station holiday clubs are successfully growing potatoes in the growbags we have provided.
The Ukrainian community holds sessions in the Community Garden, creating artworks and especially watercolour paintings.
A local horticultural nursery owner has designed and built an amazing Stumpery in the Courtyard Garden and involved our Pizza the Action Youth Group in the planting. He is going to make a Japanese Garden for us next month in the remaining unused bed, again involving our youth group.
## **A ROCHA ECO CHURCH AWARD**
In 2024, hot on the heels of Bronze and Silver, we gained an A Rocha Gold Award. Eco Church is a programme which sees a learning community of churches take practical action on caring for God’s earth. We were judged in the five categories of Worship and Teaching, Buildings and Energy, Land and Nature, Community and Global Engagement and Lifestyle.
## **WARM HUB**
We host a Warm Hub from October to late April. This provides a free soup and sandwich lunch, as well as an opportunity for friendship. It is visited by on average 60 people every Tuesday. Alongside the food and friendship, we host stalls providing information to attendees on topics such as Dementia Awareness, Cosy Homes, Trading Standards and Debt Advice.
## **VOLUNTEERS**
As well as church trustees, volunteers and steward we have three core groups of volunteers at the Community Hub: Gardening Group, Reception Volunteers, Warm Hub Volunteers. Often, volunteers help out in more than one group.
