Trading Allowance and multiple income sources question

I am retired, but generate income from a few sources - each of which I need to declare on separate forms on my Self Assessment form. My question is: what would be the best way for me to allocate the £1k Trading Allowance on my Return?
The incomes sources are:
- IT Support - revenue £612, expenses £162
- Focus Groups - revenue £225, expenses £33
- Rental income from renting out our driveway on Justpark - £3,000
Since the Justpark income needs to be declared as income from property, presumably it is not eligible for Trading Allowance? If that's the case, then can I allocate the Trading Allowance across both of the other income sources to reduce my tax liability on those sources to zero?
