Supporting future generations

September is Wills Month in Aotearoa, a time to encourage people to think about making or updating their Will, and about the people, communities and causes that are important to them.
Making a Will is about more than deciding what happens to your belongings. It is an opportunity to put your wishes in writing and make plans for the people and things you care about.
For some people, this includes leaving a gift to a charity. A gift in a Will, also known as a bequest, can be any size. It might be a specific amount, a percentage of an estate, or what remains after family and loved ones have been provided for.
There are different ways to include a charitable gift in your Will, and many people choose to provide for their family and loved ones first. A solicitor or qualified legal professional can help you understand your options and make sure your Will reflects your wishes.
Leaving a lasting impact
For The Hearing House, gifts in Wills can help us continue supporting children, adults and whānau for years to come.
Our work is about more than cochlear implant technology. It is about supporting communication, connection and choice, and helping people who are hard of hearing access the services and support that can make a difference in their lives.
A gift in your Will can contribute to the specialist services, expertise and community that people and their whānau can draw on throughout their cochlear implant journey. It can also help us continue developing and providing support as the needs of our kiritaki/clients and their whānau change over time.
Thinking about your Will?
September can be a good reminder to check whether your Will still reflects your circumstances and wishes. You may want to consider who you would like to provide for, what you would like to leave behind, and whether there are causes or organisations you would like to support.
