Legacy was founded in 1923 on a battlefield promise to ‘look after the missus and kids’. Funds raised enable Legacy to keep this promise.

Legacy supports the partners and children of veterans who have seen their loved ones leave our shores to serve in wars from World War 1 and World War 2, to Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Many never made the journey home and others returned bearing the physical and mental scars of war.

Legacy also supports the families of those who may have died many years after serving our nation and those who have given their health in recognised military service. All are equally deserving of our support for the sacrifices their families have made for their country.  

Legacy Brisbane currently cares for over 4,000 widows, widowers, families, youth and people with a disability.
