Leave a gift in your Will
Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and consideration in leaving a gift in your Will to Roundabout Canberra. Leaving a gift in your will can mean you can make a significant contribution to the lives of children and babies in the Canberra region for years to come
So far, through donations, we’ve supported thousands of children and their families, ensuring local children have the opportunity for a brighter future. But we know that many more need our help, and each year the numbers just keep growing.
With key factors like the number of cases of family and domestic violence growing, the number of families effected by cost of living pressures, homelessness and the impacts of mental health on families, Roundabout Canberra is committed to being here and offering dignified support to every child who needs us; because regardless of their situation, every child deserves the chance of a brighter future and the care they need.

- Supporting dignity by making sure a child has the clothing and hygiene essentials they need.
- Supporting over 700 case and support workers and allowing them to focus resources and time on providing other vital support which can help families to change their circumstances, because Roundabout Canberra is making sure the essentials are in place.
