We all share the hope that one day every child will have a safe, healthy and happy childhood. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach their true potential.

Everyone can leave the world a better place for the next generation. People of all ages and from all walks of life have been inspired to include a gift to Save the Children Australia in their Wills. We are an organisation that relies on support from the Australian public. Gifts in Wills are an extremely valuable and incredibly important element of that support.

Understandably you may have questions about whether including a gift in your Will is the right thing for you to do. If you can answer ‘yes' to any of these questions below, then including a gift in your Will is a great way to help you realise your hopes and wishes for the future.

Do you want to help save the lives of more children?

Over the past 90 years, millions of children's lives have been saved and millions more have been given a better start in life, thanks to the commitment and generosity of Save the Children's supporters. By supporting the work of Save the Children through a gift in your Will you can be part of these amazing achievements long into the future.

Do you want to help to make a brighter future for children?

All of our supporters have been part of the amazing achievements that Save the Children has made around the world since 1919. Our supporters are part of our heritage. They have helped us to make history in the past. Now please help us to make history in the future. By including a gift in your Will you can help us to continue to save and improve the lives of the world's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

Do you want to remember your loved ones AND support your favourite charity?

We understand that your family and loved ones come first. All we ask is that once you have taken care of your family and friends, you also consider including a gift to Save the Children. No matter what the size of your gift, you'll be making a difference to the lives of the world's most vulnerable children. If the time is ever right for you to include a gift to Save the Children in your Will, that would be wonderful.

Do you want to be part of something amazing?

We recognise that leaving a gift in your Will is a decision that may take you some time to consider. But you should also know that it is relatively easy to arrange. A few phone calls and a visit to your solicitor is all it should take. Writing a new Will or updating your current one shouldn't take you long to do. Including a gift in your Will is very straightforward. We think that it is an amazing thing to do.

Do you want to make a significant gift in the future that will cost you very little right now?

One of the advantages of including a gift in your Will now is that it actually costs you next to nothing, especially if you are writing or updating your Will anyway. It won't affect the disposable income you have to spend. A gift in your Will comes out of your estate after you have passed away. After all, we can't take things with us when we're gone. But you can have the knowledge that you'll be making a gift that can bring about positive change for the world's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
