Gareth Foster’s entire life has resided in Northland, and he has a number of local causes which are close to his heart.
Gareth is a male bass singer, and has performed for many years, including with the Whangarei Repertory Society and the Whangarei Theatre Company. He has always loved sport, particularly athletics and swimming, and he has seen the opportunities that investment in youth can bring to young talent. Gareth also has a love for education, which his mother instilled in him as a school teacher.
In writing his will, Gareth has naturally chosen to look after family and friends first, and has decided to leave the residual of his estate to benefit these causes that mean the most to him: namely opera, sports and education.
Gareth’s residual gift will be invested with Northland Community Foundation, with the income benefitting these causes of his choice forever, providing scholarships to up-and-coming young talent in his name.
