Gone are the days when supporting your favourite charity meant posting a cheque in the mail.
Today, people can give in many different ways, from online donations to innovative solutions like the Grateful Giving Station at Enliven Central’s Kōwhainui Home, where visitors can show their gratitude through a simple tap-and-go donation with proceeds going directly back to the Home and residents.
But one of the most powerful ways to make a difference remains unchanged: leaving a gift in your Will.
During this year's Wills Week, we're encouraging people to consider the lasting impact a Gift in Will can have on future generations.
Presbyterian Support Central is a not-for-profit organisation supporting children and families through Family Works Central and older people across the lower North Island through Enliven Central.
We know that many people are feeling the pressure of rising costs and may not be in a position to make significant donations during their lifetime. A Gift in Will provides an opportunity to make a lasting difference to the causes and communities that matter most to you.
Many people are surprised to learn how simple it can be to include a charity in their Will. A gift can take the form of a percentage of your estate, a specific sum of money or asset, or a residual gift, where the remainder of your estate is gifted after family and loved ones have been cared for.
Just as importantly, you can choose exactly how your gift is used.
If supporting local people matters to you, your gift can be directed to services such as Kōwhainui Home or Family Works Whanganui, ensuring your legacy supports the people and community closest to your heart.
By including Presbyterian Support Central in your Will, you create a legacy of compassion, hope and care. Your kindness can continue making a difference for years to come, helping build stronger communities and better futures.
This Wills Week, take a moment to consider the impact you would like to leave behind. Because where there's a Will, there's a way to make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
