Bequests help us build hope, transform lives and make an impact on future generations.
Making a bequest (leaving a legacy in your Will) to The Benevolent Society is a very special gift.
It is the ultimate expression of generosity and a lasting legacy of your commitment to our work.
It demonstrates how much you care for others.
Bequests help us to extend our services, and plan for new ones.
What do I need to do to leave a bequest?
Including a bequest in your Will is simple and there are different types of bequest that you might wish to consider. For more information please read our information booklet. We recommend that you consult a solicitor when drawing up or changing a Will.
The Benevolent Circle
When you pledge to leave a gift in your Will, you will be joining The Benevolent Circle, an exclusive group who share your values and have made the same decision. Membership is automatic for our bequest supporters, and members will be kept informed about our work and invited to special events.
If you have already included The Benevolent Society in your Will, please let us know so we can keep you informed of our work.
If you would like further information about leaving a gift in your Will to The Benevolent Society please call Karen Miller on 02 9339 8043 or contact us by email.
