Leaving a gift in your Will

For over 20 years, Volunteering Gold Coast has used volunteering to extend the reach and impact of our services for the vulnerable seniors and people living with a disability on the Gold Coast. This has allowed us to provide them with transport support, social outings, community visitor schemes, accessible beaches programs and volunteer recruitment for Not-For-Profits. A gift in your Will could make all the difference.

Gift options you may consider and the wording for your solicitor:
