Our story:

Mackay Strathnaver Trust is a family based charitable trust founded on a legacy set up by Dorothy MacKay and Neville Ogg in 1989.  

​

The Mackay Strathnaver logo depicts the region Strathnaver, river and hills in Scotland.  Mackay are the clan people of that region.  Reay & Jean Mackay were related by marriage to Neville & Shirley Ogg. Foundation money for the Mackay Strathnaver Trust was mostly from the sale of the Mackay land in Tauranga.

 

Since Neville & Shirley passed away in 2001,

their daughters Andrée Withington & Viv Hill have continued operating the trust with an independent Trustee.  Recently, Rhonda Wisbey has been appointed in this position.
