That’s another day spent in the great outdoors with our Legacy kids!

We regularly host activities for families of veterans to connect, challenge themselves, and most of all have fun. If you’d like to know more email us at [email protected].

October 19th is War Widows Day - a day dedicated to recognising the lifelong impact that loss has on a family and commemorating the strength and resilience of those who have lost their partners.

Today is also a reminder that you are not alone and to reach out if you are struggling. Legacy WA is here if you or someone you know needs a little extra support.

That’s a wrap on Land Forces 2026.

It’s been an incredible week connecting, learning, and sharing what we do. A huge thank you to everyone who dropped by our booth - or spoke with our Chair, who has been on the ground alongside the team, helping us get our message out!

Safe travels back to everyone who attended.

A huge congratulations to Peter Heeney - who took our the Ministers' Award at the VESPIIA Awards of Excellence for 2026. These awards recognise exceptional people across the ex-serving community, and Peter is especially deserving.

For more than four decades, Peter has been a dedicated part of the Legacy family. If you aren't already familiar with his story, keep an eye out in our next edition of the Legacy Times.

A very honorable mention to Kim Doherty RFD who was a nominee for Volunteer of the Year at the Awards. We couldn't do the work we do without amazing volunteers like Kim and Peter.

WE’RE OUT AND ABOUT!
Today’s the day!

Our wonderful Legacy volunteers and members of the Armed Forces are on the streets for our Legacy Week Street Appeal.

We have:
Legacy badges
Our very cute Legacy bears
Donation buckets at the ready
And a couple of larger-than-life furry volunteers who may be difficult to miss!

Every donation helps Legacy provide ongoing support, stability and opportunity to the families of Australian veterans.

See us today? Say hello. Buy a badge. Take home a bear. Make a donation.
Together, we can make sure our veterans’ families know they are never forgotten.

Tomorrow, we take to the streets.

Our Legacy volunteers will be joined by members of the Armed Forces across the Perth C*D and Rockingham Foreshore tomorrow, Thursday 3 September, for our Legacy Week Street Appeal.

Why?
Because no veteran family should have to navigate life after service alone.

Legacy provides practical, long-term support including financial assistance, advocacy, education and social connection — standing alongside veteran families through bereavement, adversity and change.

Tomorrow, you can help us continue that work.
Stop and say hello.
Buy a Legacy badge.
Take home a Legacy bear.
Make a donation.
And if you spot one of our mascot bears roaming the streets, a photo is practically compulsory.

WARNING: Bears will be loose in Perth and Rockingham this Thursday.

Some will be small, cuddly and looking for a new home.

A couple may be considerably bigger, slightly less well behaved, and prone to prancing about in public.

It’s all part of our Legacy Week Street Appeal this Thursday 3 September, when Legacy volunteers and members of our Armed Forces will be collecting donations and selling our much-loved Legacy bears and badges.

But behind every bear is an important purpose.

A Legacy bear is more than a keepsake. It’s support for a veteran family who needs it.

So if you’re in the Perth C*D or at Rockingham Foreshore this Thursday, keep an eye out for us.
And possibly… a very large bear.

This Legacy Week, stand with our veterans’ families.

For more than 100 years, Legacy has stood beside the families of Australian veterans, providing stability, opportunity and care when it is needed most.

Today, Legacy supports around 25,000 partners and children of veterans who have died or given their health as a result of their service.

Our support is ongoing and practical — from financial assistance and advocacy to education, social connection and support through bereavement. Because no veteran family should have to navigate life after service alone.

This Legacy Week, you can help us continue that promise.

Buy a badge. Take home a Legacy bear. Make a donation. Every act of support helps Legacy stand beside veterans’ families and reminds them they are not forgotten.

Support Legacy Week, 30 August – 5 September.

You can donate at any time:

Legacy Week starts today.

Since the 1940s, Legacy Week has reminded Australians of a promise that continues long after military service ends: to care for the families of those who have served our country.

Legacy supports around 25,000 partners and children of veterans who have died or given their health as a result of their service.

This year, that promise extends even further, following the most significant expansion of eligibility in Legacy’s 100-year history — opening the door to thousands more veteran families.

This Thursday, our volunteers and members of the Armed Forces will take that message to the streets of Perth and Rockingham.

When you see us, buy a badge, take home a bear or make a donation.
It’s a small act that can make a very real difference to a veteran family.

Something very special is coming to the streets next Thursday…

On Thursday 3 September, our Legacy volunteers will be out and about across the Perth C*D and Rockingham Foreshore for our Legacy Week Street Appeal.

And we won’t be alone!

Members of our Armed Forces will be lending a hand, our much-loved Legacy bears will be looking for new homes, and you may even spot a couple of rather larger bears prancing around town.

Every badge, every bear and every donation helps Legacy support the families of Australian veterans.
