Today Dame Cindy hosted the Board of Governors for the annual Thomas George Macarthy Trust meeting. T G Macarthy was a successful brewer and businessman, later known for his philanthropy in the Wellington region. His mission was to build a strong, inclusive community by supporting charitable organisations involving educational, medical and community groups. Upon his death in 1906, the T G Macarthy Trust was created to administer his estate, ensuring it would benefit charitable organisations in the Wellington region for generations to come.
