A Restorative Morning at Walnut Tree Farm 

This Tuesday, Trinity’s Women’s Service enjoyed an uplifting visit to Walnut Tree Farm in Kingsworthy for a peaceful morning of mindfulness.

The Wellbeing Cafe group fully embraced farm life, spending time cuddling chickens, petting sheep, feeding alpacas, chatting to turkeys, grooming horses, and even collecting freshly laid eggs. Each activity offered a chance to slow down, be present, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being outdoors.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Walnut Tree Farm for such a warm and generous welcome. The experience was truly appreciated by everyone who attended.

Wastework Journal Workshop

24 Mar 2023 | Community, Drop In Centre, News, Press Releases, Trinity Clients

Location: Winchester School of Art, The Winchester Gallery, Park Ave, Winchester
Date and Time: Friday, 24 March, 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm

Join the charity Trinity Winchester’s community art group TAG and its creative convergent community for a ‘Wastework Journal Workshop’ at The Winchester Gallery on Friday, 24 March.

Trinity Winchester is a Winchester-based charity which addresses the effects of homelessness and vulnerability through specialist practical and emotional support and proactive prevention, empowering positive change.

Inspired by the ‘Wasteworks’ exhibition, which explores the relationship between waste and disposable consumer goods, TAG will turn the gallery into an immersive space where visitors can reflect on the exhibition’s themes and aesthetics – as well as raise awareness of the importance of social ecology and the power of being included.

Drawing on the cultures of do-it-yourself, from zine-making to creative writing, video art, and 3D printing, TAG’s workshop process champions innovation and sustainability, inviting visitors to consider their relationship with waste and how they can rework and re-examine it.

The workshop will feature three art journal-making themes to inspire visitors’ creativity. For example, in the ‘Story Telling’ theme, visitors can use a collage to tell a story related to waste, such as the life cycle of a plastic bottle from its creation to its disposal.
In the ‘Mind Maps’ theme, visitors can use a mind map to brainstorm waste-related ideas and create a collage with images representing each idea.

Finally, in the ‘Collaborative Collages’ theme, visitors can work with a partner or in a group to create a collaborative collage that explores the theme of waste, with each person contributing their images and ideas.

By participating in the workshop, visitors can gain new perspectives on waste and join the conversation on innovation and sustainability in the age of the Anthropocene.

We are delighted to be working with Documentary Photographer, Tamsyn Warde, on The Under One Roof photography project which celebrates the community and looks closer at the lifeline that the service offers so many people who need a place of stability and support in their lives.

It not only focuses on the daily routines, but aims to capture the emotions behind this extraordinary, and complex service.

There will also be a series of portraits made with the clients exploring ideas of personal identity and important relationships in their lives.

Trinity Winchester launches new Housing First Accommodation project ‘UnderOneRoof@trinity’

Trinity Winchester launches new Housing First Accommodation project ‘UnderOneRoof@trinity’

12 Oct 2020 | Community, Drop In Centre, News, UnderOneRoof@trinity

Trinity Winchester will open a new chapter in its 34 years of supporting homeless and vulnerable people in Winchester District by providing accommodation on-site for the first time.

The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Winchester, Councillor Patrick Cunningham, in the presence of HM Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire Nigel Atkinson Esq, presided over a small, socially-distanced ground-breaking ceremony to mark the start of construction on Monday 12 Oct.

UnderOneRoof@trinity will comprise of 12 ‘flatlets’ for people who are rough-sleeping repeatedly – often the hardest to reach and to help in our community. The flatlets will have ensuite bathrooms to reduce the risk of contagion through sharing facilities, protecting both occupants and the wider community. Residents will be offered individualised person-centred support to help them get their lives back on track and move towards successfully living independently.

UnderOneRoof@trinity will enhance the day centre services that Trinity has offered for more than 30 years, the last 10 at its purpose-built Bradbury House day centre in Durngate. These include hot meals, showers and laundry provision, health and wellbeing support in partnership with St Clements’ Surgery, counselling, and learning, IT training and employability mentoring delivered with local businesses. Trinity helps over 650 individual users annually.

Sue McKenna, Trinity’s Chief Executive says: “UnderOneRoof@trinity will enable people in most need to live on our site and not have to go back to sleeping rough when we close for the day. It will give people a safe space and person-centred support to address the underlying issues that have led to their repeatedly ending up on the streets”.

A regular user of Trinity’s day services commented: “I’m really looking forward to having the opportunity to live here and have the support I need for a brighter future”.

The new building has been designed to complement Trinity’s award-winning day centre by acclaimed local architects Hyphen and will be built by Bentley Projects Ltd based in Colden Common. It will be environmentally friendly, using highly insulated structural panels. Winchester City Council has provided the land on a long lease, together with a grant of £50,000.

The total project budget is £1.47m. Trinity has already raised over £1.43m through a successful capital appeal to trusts and foundations*, major donors, corporate and community support. We are confident of raising the remainder by UnderOneRoof@trinity’s scheduled opening in May 2021.

Councillor Kelsie Learney, Winchester City Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing and Asset Management said “UnderOneRoof@trinity will be a fantastic addition to Winchester’s social housing provision, which we are delighted to support. Trinity Winchester continues to be a key partner in our drive to help people who are homeless in the District, often through circumstances beyond their control”.
