Announcement: Parnell Trust has rebranded to The Village Square Trust
Parnell Trust, who manage Epsom Community Centre, have rebranded and after months of work behind the scenes we’re thrilled to announce our rebranding and unveil our new name and look.
Welcome to The Village Square Trust.
The Village Square Trust a place for all to meet, learn, create and grow. It's where people from all walks of life come together and connect, and where creativity, relationship and community are woven together to create something beautiful.
Why have we rebranded?
The Trust was first formed in 1982 and was named the Knox Centre Trust. After almost 15 years, the goals and vision for the Trust had grown and expanded so it was renamed Parnell Community Trust. Now, after another 25 years of bringing our community together, we’ve once again outgrown our name.
With the help of marketing specialists Richards Partners, we believe we’ve now come up with a new name that’s more fitting for the Trust of today and our vision for the future.
What do you need to know?
Please rest assured that the various services we provide will remain the same. There also won't be many changes for Epsom Community Centre - the website and all of our contact details will remain the same. The only differences you might notice is a different style of imagery and branding, plus our little The Village Square logo in the corner.
Feel free to reach out to us at any time or connect with us on social media if you have any thoughts or queries. As always, feel free to give us a call anytime.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated
