#CelebrateGiving

Give2Good Week is a generosity movement inspiring Western Australians to give, volunteer or gift funds within the charitable sector, thereby increasing the positive impact these organisations have on our society.

Brought to you by the Give2Good Foundation, Give2Good Week is a time to share inspirational stories of local generosity and celebrate the many different forms of giving, including time, talent or treasure.

Everyone loves hearing about acts of good in our world and by highlighting the kindness and charitable contributions made by local giving heroes, we provide everyone, young and old, with the opportunity to reflect on how they too can contribute to the greater good.

Give2Good Week aims to spark generosity across the state, so that giving, volunteering, donations and gifts in Wills become the norm for all Western Australians.

Do you know a local giving hero who should be celebrated? Share their story today...

• Give2Good Week 2021 ran between March 21 - 27, 2021.

The fourth annual 'Where’s Your Will? Day' is on Friday 3 September 2021 and it’s the perfect opportunity to start conversations around the importance of making and safely storing your Will.

So, where exactly is your Will? Have you stored it somewhere so not even you can find it? Investing time and money in making a Will is fruitless if it can’t be found after you die. 

Some organised testators make the whereabouts of their original Will known to their executor, however, many keep information about their Will a secret. The Public Trustee often gets calls from the family and friends, who are frantically searching for their lost or undiscoverable Will.

While the Public Trustee doesn’t know where every Will is, it is custodian of over 120,000 Wills safely stored in its WA Will Bank, a free community service for all Western Australians.

The WA Will Bank is a free community service that safely stores Western Australian Wills in our purpose-built, fire-proof vault, keeping them safe from loss, theft and damage.

Visit the WA Will Bank to find out more.
