Building For The Future/Stockbridge Music Hub

Many Trinity residents will have noticed that building works are underway at the 104th ENE Scout Hall on South Trinity Road.

Thanks to fundraising by the Scout group, donations from the local community, and assistance from grant providers including The National Lottery, Garfield Weston and The Pleasance Trust, Phase One is underway. This will see the addition of a new toilet and shower block, a baby change Group Scout Leader David Ewart with area and a new accessible entrance. These works are due to be completed by the end of the year. Cubs (L-R) Fergus Booth,Aidan Towers, Luca Scodellaro and Morven Gardner Phase Two will include an upgrade to our roof and building of a new storage area for our own equipment and for our regular hall users equipment. We have some exciting fundraising events planned in the coming months and continue to run our ‘Buy a Brick’ campaign to raise the additional funds we need. You can sign up for our event notifications on Event Brite (search for 104th ENE Scouts) or you can donate to our Buy a Brick campaign on Virgin Giving by scanning the adjacent QR code.

Last month saw the launch of the new initiative – Stockbridge Music Hub. This sees Stockbridge Church as a base for community Stockbridge music practitioner, Clea Friend, to run activities and classes for all members of the community both in the church and in and around the area. Music Hub Clea is already bringing music making to local care homes and schools and this month sees the first Culture Club session (a screening of a play, musical or opera production) which is open to all. The hub, and Clea herself, are a resource for the community and its aim it to assist with covid recovery by using music for integration, interaction and socialisation in this time when there might be apprehension about sharing a space and meeting with others.
