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.
