A much-loved community hub in the heart of Llandudno is set for essential improvement works after receiving a significant grant from the Gwynt y Môr Community Fund.

The Llandudno Elderly People’s Welfare Society has announced that the Trinity Centre has secured major funding to replace its ageing flat roof, ensuring the long-term future of the building and the vital services it provides for older residents and the wider community.

The investment will allow the charity to tackle longstanding issues caused by the deteriorating roof, which has led to ongoing maintenance concerns and rising costs. Trustees say the grant means the work can now go ahead without placing extra strain on day-to-day operations or local fundraising efforts.

Town councillor and LEPWS chairperson Carol Marubbi said the award was a major boost for the centre.

“We are incredibly grateful to Gwynt y Mor for their generous support. This funding will allow LEPWS to protect and future-proof a privately owned and much-loved community hub. The new roof will mean we can continue delivering activities for many years to come, benefiting thousands of local residents.”

Work is expected to begin in the coming months and will be carried out by a North Wales-based contractor, helping to support the regional economy and create short-term employment opportunities. The project is expected to cause only minimal disruption to the centre’s daily activities.

Built in the late 1950s, the Trinity Centre was established as a welcoming space where older people could meet, socialise and access support. Today, it remains one of Llandudno’s key community venues, run by a dedicated team of volunteers working alongside trustees to provide a safe and friendly environment.

As a privately owned venue, the centre relies entirely on donations, room hire income and grant funding to continue its work.

The latest award also highlights the wider impact of the Gwynt y Môr fund across the region, with the fund having also been very generous in its support of the volunteer team at Bayside Radio, helping strengthen another important community-focused organisation in North Wales.

The grant is seen as a major step in safeguarding the Trinity Centre for future generations, ensuring it can continue serving thousands of local residents for years to come.
