Legacy Week is an annual national appeal to raise awareness and funds for the partners and children of veterans who have given their life or health in service to our country. Funds raised during Legacy Week will assist approximately 25,000 widows, widowers and families across Australia, providing essential services including counselling, medical, advocacy and social support. ‘Little Badge, Big Impact’ continues to be the theme for Legacy Week, highlighting how a simple act of support can make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans’ families. Legacy is an iconic Australian charity that was established in 1923 and founded on a promise made from one digger to another – to “look after the missus and the kids.” To support Legacy’s important work, visit the link below!
