Joyce Fisher Endowment Fund

The Joyce Fisher Endowment Fund was created by the late Lady Fisher, the foundation donor, to provide sustainable income to secure the long-term future of the services which Laura Fergusson Trust Inc provides for young people and adults with physical difficulties.

The JFEF is managed by seven trustees who have a wide range of experience and skill.

LFT Board members:

  • Victoria Carter ONZM, Chairperson,

  • Simon Dunlop,

  • Greg Horton MNZM,

  • Michael Fisher.

Three independents:

  • Kirsty Shiach, a senior investment advisor at Hobson Wealth,

  • Dave Tetro who has had a 30 year career in stock broking and property,

  • John Radley, an experienced commercial lawyer.

Lady Joyce said when she made the endowment: “I am delighted to provide a major gift which enabled the establishment of the endowment fund. Together, with your support, we will be able to secure the future of the Trust for the benefit of its many clients.

“Please join with me and make a gift to the Laura Fergusson Trust. Your generosity will enhance the lives of many who are faced with the daily struggle to improve their level of independence. They do so with the services and support provided by the Trust.”
