Trinity Theatre, situated in Tunbridge Wells, is a classical theatre, music, films, visual arts and children’s theatre, that is keen to enrich all age groups and enhance cultural togetherness. RealWorth was recently commissioned on how the Theatre generates social value, and therefore reviewed the last two years of operation at the theatre interviewing both management and board.
Throughout this assessment, RealWorth completed on-site reports which included a theory of change. To add value to this report it was important to help the Theatre communicate the many ways in which they change lives for the better.
Outcomes associated with the past two years of Trinity activity range from local heritage and people having improved wellbeing through living in good quality housing. The youth theatre has enabled people to gain employability skills and increased the amount of people who attend shows creating a welcoming community.
This project has assisted Trinity Theatre in starting a journey of demonstrating the social value they create and provided them with key material that they can showcase to corporate, donors and councils. It also assisted the board in re-evaluating its social purpose and strategy when introducing new projects.
