Macgregors Community Service

Ms MacGregor led to the development of Melbourne’s West Area Consultative Committee (MWACC)

As MWACC chair, Ms MacGregor used her first-hand knowledge of the transport industry and passion for Melbourne’s West to lead the development of goals for improvement to be pursued in the next few years.

She has also worked to deal with issues affecting young people in the western region, acting as chair of the Melton/Brimbank Local Learning and Employment Network.

This organisation aims to facilitate the transition of young people aged 15-19 years into further education, training and employment.

Bill Featherstone House

After the death of her husband in 2000, Ms MacGregor and her son Martin were keen to give back to the organisation, that had provided accommodation to Mr Featherstone, as well as improving care facilities for the Wyndham community.

In 2003, she and Martin donated $100,000 to the Wyndham Lodge Community Nursing Home.

This assisted in the extending of the facility from 30 to 60 beds, with the new building being named Bill Featherstone House.

MacGregor Logistics Supports Folding @ Home

Folding@home is a distributed computing project, studies protein folding and misfolding.

Folding at home uses your spare CPU time (such as when your computer is in screen-saver mode, or not being used by other programs) to contribute to the project, which may eventually lead to a better understanding, and perhaps even cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s Disease, cystic fibrosis, BSE (Mad Cow disease), emphysema, and even many cancers.
