Memorial in honour of Keith Harrison

In March 2022, Keith Harrison died, in his 90th year. Keith was a co-founder of the Otago Youth Wellness Trust with his wife, Dame Pat, and supported her as the Trust grew and developed over the years, since its formation in 1996.

As a mark of respect for Keith, money donated at his funeral for the OYWT has been used to build a memorial seat.  Rangatahi worked along side staff member Mark O’Donnel to create a unique design, built it and completed and installed the seat in December.

The seat has been placed under a tree on our lawn, and will serve as a memorial to this special man – a teacher, a writer, a thespian and most of all a much loved husband and father and grandfather.

Dame Pat Harrison, Mark O’Donnell and Caleb admire the memorial seat.
