About the Friends of Ngala
Prior to 1992, the Friends of Ngala were known as the Ngala Association. The dedicated women of the Ngala Association focused on fundraising, volunteering, increasing community awareness of Ngala and attracting new members. The Association was formed when Ngala moved from a Committee of Management to a Board of Management in 1989. An all-female Committee of Management ran the House of Mercy, Alexandra Home and Ngala for almost a century. Eighteen strong and inspiring women led the Committee of Management as president between 1890 and 1989. Six Friends of Ngala presidents have followed since then, each bringing their own unique strengths. The Friends of Ngala continue to honour the values, principles and traditions of those who came before them through their generosity, loyalty and commitment.
