Forbes View Club will resume business under new leadership with Judy Kerr taking on the Presidency.

As a past president Judy brings enormous experience and knowledge of the workings of View and has been a passionate worker in fundraising and volunteering.

She replaces Helen Pitt who has stepped down from the position after many years in the leadership of Forbes View.

Judy commented, “I look forward to working with this year’s committee and the members of View to support the nine students we sponsor in their learning for Life Programs.

“The committee has already been working to ensure the program of activities for 2026 is developed to encourage participation and interest."
