Leaving a legacy is a new beginning. It’s the beginning of one act of kindness making a long-lasting and positive impact to countless lives, well into the future.
By leaving a bequest gift to Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation in your Will, you can help fund groundbreaking research, plan to purchase of vital cutting-edge equipment and enable the Foundation to continue to provide for world-class health care for children. Leaving a gift in your Will, no matter how large or small, is a powerful way to make a positive difference to the health and wellbeing of children far beyond your lifetime.
We recommend you discuss the type of gift you intend to make to the Hospital with your family and solicitor prior to finalising your Will.
