Leaving a bequest to a charity like Red Cross could mean everything for people here in Australia and across the world. Today these special donations are helping us react in disasters, ensure people have access to healthcare, provide better communities through befriending and mentoring programmes, and give people who are experiencing real hardship a helping hand when they need it most.
Breaking the cycle of disadvantage by supporting people at risk of homelessness or prison, or those caught up in the justice system, to make positive plans for their future.
As soon as a disaster strikes Red Cross is there providing thousands of people with support in their journey towards recovery.
Emergency relief and ongoing support for newly arrived asylum seekers, migrants and refugees to help them settle safely here in Australia.
