Looking to our Christian roots, we exist to sow faith, share hope, and show love in everything we do…
The Parish Trust was founded in 2019 by the Reverend Dean Aaron Roberts and a small but dedicated team of trustees.
The founding of the charity was the manifestation of a shared passion to invest in the local community through creating and running various projects that would benefit and enrich our stakeholders.
This passion was fuelled by the conviction of the Board of Trustees to practically demonstrate the Christian faith and its virtues.
We therefore work together to bring life in all its fullness to the people we serve by sowing faith, sharing hope, and showing love.
We’re founded on Christian faith and values, but we exist for everyone.
Read about our Impact since 2020
In the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 10, Jesus says that He came to bring “life in all its fullness.” At The Parish Trust, we are inspired by this vision and strive to reflect it in everything we do. Through our diverse projects and initiatives, we work towards creating a community where everyone can experience human flourishing.
While faith is at the heart of who we are, you don’t need to be “religious” to join us in our mission. We welcome and work with anyone who shares our commitment to bringing fullness of life to those we serve. Our doors are open to all, and our support is offered without exception.
What does this look like in action?
For us, it means addressing poverty in all its forms, creating opportunities for learning and personal growth, empowering young people to thrive, fostering meaningful connections within the community, and providing a space for individuals to explore life’s big questions, discover hope, and experience love.
You can learn more about our projects and initiatives on our website. We are always evolving, embracing new opportunities and challenges that come our way. This dynamic approach makes The Parish Trust an exciting charity to be a part of—whether you’re benefiting from our services, volunteering your time, fundraising, or contributing to our cause.
A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS
Our Logo is one way in which we can summarise our work as a charity…
They say that a picture paints a thousand words, and it’s true. The Parish Trust logo incorporates everything we want to be as an organisation…
- Colour – A warm yellow to symbolise hope, friendship, and community.
- Pebble – The Christian faith tells us that we are uniquely made and uniquely valuable. The Bible talks about Christians being “living stones” who are to strive to become more like Jesus through loving him, and loving their neighbours.
- Hands – Again, the hands coming together symbolise friendship, help, and community. They remind us of relationship and connection. They also make an abstract reference to The Creation of Adam, a painting by Michelangelo which depicts God’s desire to nurture a relationship with humankind.
- Bible – Underneath the hands is a Bible, pointing to our Christian foundations in all that we do.
