Bequest

A bequest is when a donation is left in a will, leaving behind an inspirational legacy.  Bequests enable us to not just build the capacity and wellbeing of individuals, families, carers and communities today, but for many more years to come.

We are extremely grateful for all those who have left bequests to us, of which we will always honour the wishes of and use in accordance to the wording in their wills.

If you would like to leave a bequest to us and feel comfortable sharing this, then we’d love to hear from you.  Not only so we can thank you in person, but also so we can ensure we keep you (and your loved ones) updated on the areas in which you’d like your bequest to support.
