Almost everyone has one or more significant others – partners, family or friends who they care deeply about. For many people this care is extended and expressed as concern for the well-being of others within their community and their quality of life.
By including Eastern Palliative Care Association Inc. (EPC) in your Will now, you can make a lasting contribution to ensure that those who are at the end of their lives will experience quality of life during this time. The financial resources provided by bequests make it possible for EPC to initiate and extend its services – medical, nursing, allied health therapies, grief and bereavement counselling – with a planned, long term focus.
(While many people believe that palliative care services are provided by, or are part of a larger organisation such as the Cancer Council Victoria or a major hospital, this is not the case. EPC is a totally separate and independently funded organisation).
A clearly written and up to date Will gives you the knowledge that you leave a gift to the future for those with a life threatening illness that they will be cared for within their own home surrounded by loved ones and specially trained carers.
Having provided for your family and friends in your Will, you can also inspire them by making a gift to something that is important to you. A bequest does not necessarily have to be a large gift to EPC – any gift can make a significant difference to our work.
