Leaving a gift in your Will

To say that Kevin Rozzoli is loyal is something of an understatement.

He’s been on the Board of the Haymarket Foundation almost since the organization began, coming up to 50 years ago. (He’s pictured here with CEO Gowan Vyse.)

“I’m proud of this organization – and I also want to ensure that it prospers into the future,” he says. “That’s why I’m leaving a gift in my Will to the Haymarket Foundation, to help continue this vital work after I’m gone.”

Your Will is a lasting gift to your loved ones and to the next generation.

Making a Will is a very personal matter. After you have provided for your loved ones, you may consider including The Haymarket Foundation as a beneficiary.

Gifts in Wills are property or assets given to an individual or organisation in your Will. These bequests, as they are otherwise known, can come in a range of different forms.

You can use your Will to help us achieve a future with a truly equitable and inclusive society.

A bequest to The Haymarket Foundation in your Will is a special and powerful way to support a cause that is important to you and to the community. If you choose to leave a gift to The Haymarket Foundation, you can be assured that any amount – large or small – will make a valuable difference to Sydney’s homeless and most marginalised.

Some of the ways your gift can help:

By leaving a gift in your Will, you can ensure that people experiencing complex disadvantage and homelessness are:

• Living in stable, long-term housing
• Experiencing improved mental and physical health
• Connected to community and support networks
• Empowered to lead safe, fulfilling and independent lives

A few words in your Will can support the journey to lasting change – from crisis to thriving.

Most people want to look after loved ones when they write a Will. It is also important to talk with them about your wishes and the reason you might choose to nominate The Haymarket Foundation as a beneficiary.

Kevin is leaving a gift in his Will to leave a lasting legacy.

Initially, Kevin Rozzoli got involved to help out his friend and the organisation’s founder Dr Charles Blower with a significant – and successful – application for funding in 1976.

He says the need is as great as ever.

“One of the things that I reflect on, looking back over almost 50 years is how much we’ve grown – and yet there are things that remain the same,” he says. “There’s such a demand for our services.”

The Haymarket Foundation is a grassroots, secular organization serving the most complex of people experiencing homelessness, people with a combination of mental health, drug and alcohol issues and frequently disability and trauma.

“Every month, I hear quite moving examples of their success,” he says. “Our case managers find long-term health and housing outcomes for our residents and other clients.”
