The Trinity Centre
The Trinity Centre is a community centre in Holy Trinity grounds used by the wider Melrose community as well as the congregation.
Most Holy Trinity social events and meetings take place at the Centre, and other regular users include Scottish Borders Council, the Borders Health Board, local charities and other church groups. It is also a popular venue for children’s birthday parties.
The Centre was built in 1999 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Holy Trinity, and the millenium, and was opened in May 2000 by the ninth Duke of Buccleuch, whose ancestor the fifth Duke donated the land on which Holy Trinity was built in 1849.
The Trinity Centre’s constitution states that ‘the object of the centre is to provide purpose-built, flexible accommodation for ‘a variety of church and community uses’ permitted under local government specifications. It is run by a Management Board comprising representatives of the three Melrose churches (Episcopal, Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic), which functions as a sub-committee of the Holy Trinity Vestry.
