Announcement: Parnell Trust has rebranded to The Village Square Trust

Danielle Muller from The Village Square Trust

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. Same great services, same smiling faces – they might just have a different logo on their shirt!

Our new website villagesquare.org.nz is up and running and all traffic from our Parnell Trust website is being redirected here. Our email addresses have also changed – the usernames are the same but domain is now “@villagesquare.org.nz”. Don’t worry, we’re still receiving all emails that are being sent to our “@parnell.org.nz” addresses.

Over the next few months you’ll notice changes in our branding, signs and promotions. 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.
