About the Fletcher Trust

The Fletcher Trust is now in its 30th year of operation, having originated as a charitable trust to support activities in the communities in which Fletcher Challenge Group companies operated. Now an independent charitable trust, the Trustees are former Fletcher Challenge Directors or employees. It is administered by a Board comprising Angus Fletcher (Chairman), James Fletcher, Gary Key, Mark Binns and Paul Pirani (Manager). The Trust is registered with the Charities Commission (registration number CC10657).
