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.
Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
