An estimated 50% of Australians don’t yet have a valid Will. If you live in the Bunbury area and have been meaning to get your Will written or updated then this event may be of interest to you.
This is a popular event and does get booked up so we recommend that you make an appointment in advance.
Whilst we hope that some people will consider leaving a gift in their Will to Guide Dogs WA you don’t have to do so to take up this offer. The aim is simply to raise awareness of the option to support Guide Dogs WA into the future with a gift in your Will if you would like to.
Kay McIntyre, Program Manager Planned Giving at Guide Dogs WA, says all gifts in Wills received, whether large or small, help the organisation provide more life-changing Guide and Assistance Dogs to Western Australians who need them in the future.
“People often ask us where our Guide and Assistance Dog’s names come from. About a quarter of the dogs in the training program are named in honour of people who’ve left a generous gift in their Will to Guide Dogs WA. Recent recruits include Dexter, Bix, Trudy, Merle, Tomas, Reilly and Brian. Sometimes the dogs are named after the person themselves, a loved one or beloved pet,” Ms McIntyre says.
“It is easy to leave a gift by simply including Guide Dogs WA as a beneficiary in your Will. Your gift will help provide more Guide and Assistance Dogs for West Australians living with low vision, disability or illness,” Ms McIntyre says.
