Legacy conducts annual appeal to support veterans' families

Legacy is conducting its annual Legacy Week appeal, a fundraising initiative that has been a cornerstone for the charity since the 1940s. The organization provides social connection, financial support, advocacy, and respite accommodation to the families of veterans.

In Inverell, the local branch is seeking volunteers and donations to support 100 family members, including children and university students. Fundraising activities include the sale of badges and bears at various local businesses and community hubs.

In the Canberra region, the charity is approaching its centenary. Following a recent merger with regional groups, the organization now supports hundreds of people across the ACT and surrounding areas, including Yass-Boorowa, Queanbeyan, Cooma-Bombala, and the Far South Coast. The annual appeal is vital for maintaining the services provided to beneficiaries throughout the year.
