Announcement: Parnell Trust has rebranded to The Village Square Trust

Danielle Muller from Epsom Community Centre

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.

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.

Bring back the old days - Kingseat /Carrington

We need to be proactive. Nip it in the bud. Do what works!!!!!

We need to relieve police, courts, hospitals, prisons and reopen the time out / mental hospitals where it takes 2 family signatures and in you go. Yes you don't want to go in there. You made to take medications, food and to behave etc otherwise the restraints are used. Yes you lose your freedom for as long as it's needed. But you come out detoxed / safe and vowing not to go through that again until you on the straight and narrow. It worked for some of my family / extended family in the old days so i thoroughly recommend this system. Cruel to be kind etc. Our population has doubled so we need twice as many (like roads and housing).

A good House Painter

Rachel from Grey Lynn

Hi Neighbours,
I've just got some quotes for exterior house painting of an old villa. These are large when you add in the scaffolding cost - which will be extra. Can you recommend a good painter?
