The redefinition of geographic scope to the region known as Auckland and the insertion of merger/amalgamation powers were within the trustees' express powers of variation and did not alter the substratum or exclusively charitable nature of the Hibiscus trusts; accordingly the transfers effectuating the amalgamation were valid and the Harbour Hospice entities are lawful successors with the rights and entitlements of the predecessor trusts.
