About Parnell Trust

Parnell Trust (full name: Parnell Community Trust) is a non-profit community services provider, with over 30 years' experience in bringing people in our community together. We manage a broad range of services including the Parnell Community Centre, a weekly farmers’ market, heritage walks, two early childhood centres and a number of out-of-school care programmes for school-aged children. Our services primarily interact with people in the Parnell, Newmarket, Grafton and Auckland city communities, although we do provide services for people from around the greater Auckland region.

We have a strong focus on community wellbeing and connectedness, with a particular motivation for providing services and activities which enable people to live richer and fuller lives. These include activities which remove barriers to isolation and others which celebrate our community, and services which assist families to thrive and people of all ages to enjoy lifelong education.

Our Mission

Parnell Trust is a non-profit community organisation dedicated to the provision of services, information, facilities and activities of a high standard that will enable people in our community to live richer and fuller lives.

Our Vision

Parnell Trust will be a pre-eminent community-based organisation, both in terms of range of services and service excellence.
