In 1923, Legacy made a promise to help families carry on with their lives after the loss or injury of a loved one in military service.
It was a simple promise that Legacy keeps today; providing long term social, emotional, developmental and financial support to the families of Australia’s veterans.
Across the Sunshine Coast Legacy supports around 900 widows and families and relies on around 40 Legatee volunteers to provide that support.
Legatees are the backbone of Legacy and deliver the vast majority of our services.
Legatee and member of Noosa Rotary Club Stan Quin has been supporting Legacy for the past 17 years.
Stan’s motivation for joining the Legacy team from his National Service training and the family connections to services Air Force.
He works tirelessly in the important role of fund raising and also in an advisory manner to the organisation.
The Rotary Club of Noosa has been a supporter of Legacy for over 20 years.
A Legatee is a volunteer who makes the personal commitment to assist the widows, partners and families of deceased and incapacitated Servicemen and women cared for by Legacy.
In the past ex-Service personnel were sought for recruitment as Legatees. Now, those in the community who share the Legacy values and respect the work of Legacy are welcome and strongly encouraged to join.
