Leave a gift in your will
A special gift from one generation to another
Most New Year’s resolutions only last a month — do something that will last forever. As 2012 begins make a decision that will not only last forever but also help some of the world’s most disadvantaged people.
By leaving a gift in your will you are ensuring that our work continues to help some of the world’s poorest people. Each person reached is a life we’ve been able to transform for good. And each community that’s equipped to help themselves is a giant step towards a world without poverty and injustice.
Here's how to make it happen.

Leaving a bequest is an incredibly practical and sensible way to distribute what I have. I can only give so much while I'm alive because I also need to live and I want to live an enjoyable life, but when I'm no longer here I won't need the money I accumulate. It seemed eminently sensible!
Sue Wilson, Oxfam Supporter, Brisbane.
No matter how much you leave to Oxfam - it really will make a difference.
