Leave a Gift in your Will

A gift in your will is a gift that lives on.

We know from experience that most people would like to leave the world a little better off. It is a way of sharing assets - money, property or valuables - that you may need now but can spare for a worthy cause when you no longer need them. Gifts to Diabetes Australia-NSW are the backbone of finance for the good work done for people with diabetes.

Gifts enable us to continue our vital education and awareness programs and our financial support for diabetes research. It would be very difficult to continue expanding services for an ever-growing number of people with diabetes without them.

Contributing to Diabetes Australia-NSW means you are helping to improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of Australians, by:

  • Helping them to avoid diabetes;
  • Helping them to learn how to live well with diabetes; and
  • Ultimately, helping to cure diabetes.

If you would like information about making a will, or wording for leaving a gift in your will, please contact our Community Relations Coordinator, Christine Booth at christib@diabetesnsw.com.au or call 1300 136 588.

Banting & Best Circle

The Banting & Best Circle, named in honour of the two insulin pioneers, was introduced to honour generous supporters who leave a bequest to Diabetes Australia-NSW.

Before 1920, diabetes meant certain death. In the autumn of that year, Dr Frederick Banting had an idea that would lead to a revolutionary treatment for diabetes – insulin. Working with his colleague Charles Best, his research led to the first human being treated with insulin, a 12-year-old boy in 1922. To the father, it was like a miracle. It was as if he had been given his son back.

For all those who have made bequests to Diabetes Australia-NSW, we thank you sincerely for your generosity and care benefitting future generations affected by diabetes.

If you have already committed to leaving a bequest and wish to be a member of the Banting & Best Circle, contact our Community Relations Coordinator, Christine Booth at christib@diabetesnsw.com.au or call 1300 136 588.
