STATE Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin is encouraging locals to support our veteran community and their families by buying a Legacy badge or donating to the annual Legacy Week Appeal.
“Legacy truly is a touchstone organisation, supporting 34,000 partners and children of veterans who gave their lives or health serving Australia, including 10,000 in New South Wales,” Ms Saffin said.
“In 1923, Legacy committed to helping veterans’ families carry on with their lives after the loss or injury of their loved one.
“More than a century later, Legacy clubs are still delivering on that promise to be there for these families and to meet their ongoing needs.”
Legacy Appeals have been running since the 1940s. For more details, please visit: www.legacy.com.au/donate
Ms Saffin noted that NSW Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Veterans David Harris were today launching Legacy Week at a commemorative service at the Cenotaph in Sydney’s Martin Place.
