Jean Wightman Trust

Purpose: The Charitable Trust was set up to pay an income in perpetuity to the Presbyterian Support Services (Christchurch) Incorporated (now known as Presbyterian Support, Upper South Island) for its charitable purposes amongst the aged in Ashburton. The Settlor expressed the wish that the income be applied toward the care and nursing of residents of the Eventide Home, Grigg Street, Ashburton for as long as it is run by the Association. Presbyterian Support Services no longer provide residential care services, however, instead delivers the Ashburton (Mid Canterbury) community respite care services for the elderly under the ‘Enliven’ service brand. This is service is provided either via Community Day Programmes, social work support, or Home Share gatherings.
