Stansfield House is a lasting legacy

Located at Shellharbour on the NSW South Coast, Stansfield House has been a cornerstone of much that has been achieved over the last three decades in that seaside community.  But it would not have been so without Richard Stansfield’s generous gift in his Will.

This home stands as a legacy to Richard’s lifetime commitment to supporting vulnerable children, young people and families.

Bequests account for around one quarter of income raised each year for Barnardos.  Everyday Australians leave a percentage of their Estate or gifts of money in their Will to ensure Barnardos mission continues beyond their own lifetime.

Gifting a house, as in Richard’s case, is particularly valuable in enabling Barnardos to carry on our life-changing work, whether it is used as a residence for families in dire need of accommodation to live, or as a space to run programs and services.

Every gift in Will makes a difference.

You can learn more here about leaving property, shares, a residuary gift or a specified sum to Barnardos in your Will. Or you can chat to our Bequests Manager, Kingsley Edwards, on (02) 9218 2311 or email kedwards@barnardos.org.au

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
