Trust’s AGM held 1 September

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual General Meeting on 1 September at the Greytown Fire Station.

Chair Phil Holden presented highlights from our 2025/26 Annual Report, including the Trust’s financial performance, community funding, property and managed fund portfolios, and priorities for the year ahead.

One of the highlights was the $416,128 in community benefit delivered during 2025/26, reflecting the Trust’s ongoing support for local organisations, projects, education, sport and recreation, and community facilities.

We were also fortunate to hear from three guest speakers who shared how Trust support is making a difference in our community.  Anna Kelsall spoke about her journey towards becoming a teacher; Owen Wos shared his achievements in swimming, music and community involvement; and John Argue spoke about the work of the Pāpāwai–Mangarara Stream Catchment Group. 

A big thank you to Anna, Owen and John for sharing their stories, and to everyone who came along.

If you missed the AGM, our presentation and 2025/26 Annual Report are available on our website, with hard copies of the Annual Report also available from our office at 124 Main Street.
