Objectives

The Trinity Community Project has supported vulnerable adults in St Albans for 30 years.

Our Vision Trinity Community Project aims:  ‘to be there for vulnerable people, encouraging them to reach their potential’.   

We aim to empower people to participate in a range of social activities within the centre and out in the community.  These offer choice and promote skills, independence and self-confidence while maintaining dignity and safety. 

Our Mission is to provide high quality support and reduce social isolation within two groups – amongst those living with learning difficulties and those experiencing mental health issues.
