A gift in your Will of just 1% has the potential to save lives and stop suicides in future generations.
Making a will is an important thing to do. It gives you the opportunity to safeguard what is important to you and how you want your estate to be distributed amongst those people and organisations important to you.
In your will, you may wish to remember your favourite charity as one way to continue your support and form part of a living legacy. Lifeline Direct will honour your donation proudly through our work supporting local people and those in crisis.
Below are suggestions on the easiest way to add us to your Will, or feel free to contact us; we're happy to talk with you about this. If you don't have a Will we've teamed up with Safewill Australia's most trusted Online Wills program for you to be able to secure a bespoke will at 50% off.
