At Trinity we build a caring and healing community where everyone feels cared for and people are encouraged to offer care to one other.
However, there are times in everyone’s life when we need a little more support. There are many ways in which Trinity gives of our time and effort to support and care for those who need it, below are some of the ways we can help you in times of need:
