Leave a Gift in your Will

Gifts made in wills reflect what is most important to us – and where we most want to leave a lasting impact.

A gift in your will

Leave a legacy of caring.
Whether you’re personally affected by workplace tragedy or you’re passionate about health and safety, the work of Threads of Life is close to your heart. You can continue to support families affected by work-related fatalities, life-altering injuries and occupational disease, by dedicating a donation in your will.

Leaving a legacy gift

Leaving a gift to Threads of Life in your will is straight-forward to set up, and it can make a huge difference in the future, by supporting families and helping to eliminate tragedies.

A small percentage goes a long way

Some people worry that they can’t support both their loved ones and their favourite cause with their will. The truth is, just a small percentage of your estate left to Threads of Life can have a big impact, while still leaving the majority for your loved ones. Choosing to support Threads of Life this way can also reduce and, in some cases, even eliminate the taxes to be paid.

Let us know

Leaving a legacy gift is such a profoundly personal decision. The truth is, you can choose to leave a gift in your will for Threads of Life and never tell us. But we’d really like to be able to thank you personally.
