A Descendant of Helen Macpherson Smith Visits
On Thursday February 27th we had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Keith Smith and his wife Barbara at the Youthrive Victoria office in Creswick.
Visiting from England, Keith is the great nephew of Helen Macpherson Smith. The Macpherson Smith Rural Foundation (MSRF) was established in 2008 through the generosity and vision of the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust.
In 2018 the MSRF became The Rural Foundation t/as Youthrive Victoria. Keith was a Board member at the time the MSRF was established and was very pleased to hear about the ongoing work of Youthrive Victoria.
Follow up email from Keith:
We much appreciated and enjoyed our time today with you all. Thank you for making it happen and for hosting us so graciously. We found it inspiring to see how the Trust’s investment in my time is leading to benefits for rural Victoria. The energy was palpable.
All the best for your plans for 2025.
Best wishes
Keith & Barbara
