Village Square Trust

 

At last Tuesday’s meeting, we had Kay Madigan, from The Village Square Trust, supported by Lyn Fox, CEO, taking about the Trust’s role since 1982.  Commencing life as the Knox Trust, the name changed in 1995 to the Parnell Community Trust, as the Trust moved into the Jubilee Building.  The Village Square Trust rebrand dates from 2020.

The Trust’s community work includes Early Childhood Learning Centres, after school programmes, community classes and social activities – not just for Parnell, but for all. They have a Green Kids healthy eating initiative, the Saturday morning Farmers Market, and have joined with our Club and the organising group for the forthcoming Garden Design Fest weekend on 26 & 27 November. Kay is the Volunteer Coordinator [150 folk required for gate duties] and would welcome support from all of us.

 

After 40 years of active support for the community, the Trust is looking to the future.  Kay welcomed our ideas and involvement – is this a possible venue in the planning for our satellite Newmarket meetings?

 

And we are especially invited to their forthcoming fundraiser, High Tea on the afternoon of Sunday 30 October, 2.30 – 4.30pm when the Nairobi Trio will be performing.
