leave a gift in your will

Arranging a gift to headspace in your will is a simple, yet meaningful legacy you can make to support young people and their mental health.

Gifts in wills assist headspace to provide critical mental health services, and to innovate and grow supporting programs. There are many ways that a gift to headspace can be included in your will:

  • A percentage of your estate: this is often regarded as the most flexible way to give as you don’t have to adjust the value of your gift to account for inflation, or changes to your total assets.

  • A percentage of your residuary estate: after you have taken care of your loved ones in your will, you can give a percentage of the remainder of your estate.

  • Fixed sums or assets: leave a specific sum to headspace.

 

If you have an existing will, your solicitor or a public trustee can assist with adding a short amendment.

If you do not have a will, we encourage you to seek advice to create one.

After including your gift to headspace in your will, we encourage you to notify your family.  We also encourage you to contact headspace so we can thank you and recognise the commitment you have made.  We will of course respect your anonymity if you wish to.
