My decision in 2004 to leave a Bequest to Australian Red Cross was born of many years of observing the wonderful humanitarian services that Red Cross provides to those most vulnerable on our planet”.
Mary, South Australia

Bequests can make a significant difference to recipient charities. Many Australian charities, including The Cancer Council Australia, Heart Foundation, Mission Australia and Australian Red Cross rely on bequests for much of their work. Around 8% of Australians leave a bequest each year. Bequests come from all corners of society and are not necessarily left by the very wealthy, but by people who want to support one or more causes thereby leaving the world a better place. 

But imagine if more people left a bequest in their Will? Leaving a bequest is a sustainable way to ensure a brighter future for our charities and the millions of people they help every year.  

And it's so easy, next time you update your Will, you too could make a difference by including a charity. 

So do you have the Will to shape the future?
