Include a Charity Week is a national campaign held each September to encourage people across Australia to consider leaving a gift in their Will to a charity they believe in. It’s a moment for organisations like Surf Life Saving to highlight the lasting impact supporters can have on future generations. 

Include a Charity Week invites you to think about the legacy you want to leave. For Surf Life Saving, that legacy is felt in safer beaches, stronger communities, and volunteers who are trained, equipped, and ready to protect people whenever they’re needed. 

During Include a Charity Week, supporters can get involved in simple but meaningful ways: learning more about gifts in Wills, speaking with loved ones about their wishes, or reaching out to the Surf Life Saving Australia’s Legacies team for guidance on how your bequest can support the future of lifesaving across Australia. 

By choosing to leave a gift in your Will, you help ensure our volunteers can continue patrolling beaches, delivering education programs, and keeping communities safe for decades to come. It’s a powerful way to make your mark, and to keep the red and yellow on our beaches for future generations.
