Trafford Hall
Trafford Hall was built in 1756 although it can't be said what the original use was for. Today the venue is used as a National Communities Resource Centre it is a registered charity offering training and support to all those living and working in low-income areas throughout the United Kingdom to develop their skills, confidence and capacity to tackle problems and reverse poor conditions. With over fifteen years experience of providing training and support to people in low-income communities across the country, Trafford Hall has developed its successful Training First model and provides small, seed funding grants, to enable community groups to have a practical and positive impact on their local community, after they have been to Trafford Hall. All courses are residential and aim to bring people together to share ideas and experiences, learn new skills and increase levels of confidence. The courses, which are designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of families, young people and adults, are regularly evaluated to ensure that they are achieving the charity's aims.
They have 5 training programmes:
1.Tenant Futures 2.Community Futures 3.Family Futures 4.Youth Futures 5.DIY Community Action
Trafford Hall can also be hired out for events and conferences, such as youth events and weddings.

Famous quotes containing the word hall:
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
