The Toc H NZ - Bowerbank Charitable Trust
The Toc H NZ – Bowerbank Charitable Trust was established by a Deed in March 1992. The Settlor is an autonomous body established in New Zealand to promote and act in accordance with the ideals of TOC H Incorporated in the United Kingdom by Royal Charter in 1969. Its affairs in New Zealand are conducted by three National Officers:

The Settlor received assets from the Estate of Lady Bowerbank, originally derived from Sir Frederick Bowerbank (the first Honorary Commissioner of Toc H in New Zealand), and used those assets to establish this Trust in New Zealand.
