EMPOWERING OUR COMMUNITY, ENRICHING LIVES.
The Mactodd Community Charitable Trust (formerly known as ADEPT) is a philanthropic organisation dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of our community.
Mactodd Lawyers have been the stewards of the Trust for 45 years and have nurtured and grown the investment portfolio during that time. This has enabled an enduring legacy for the future and we acknowledge the vision of the founding trustee and Mactodd partner Alan Macalister.
