Elizabeth's why...
"I’ve been supporting Variety for several years and made up my mind to leave a gift in my Will so I can help New Zealand children long after I’m gone. You’ve got the opportunity to do something wonderful for kids who need your help… absolutely do it."
Elizabeth, Manawatu
What kind of world do you want to leave behind?
Leaving a gift in your Will is not about wealth – it’s about the lasting impact you can make. Together, we can transform lives. Your gift can help provide the everyday essentials Kiwi kids need to learn, grow, belong, and thrive. We promise to honour your kindness by using your gift where it's needed most, so your generosity can live on.
How to include Variety in your Will
Variety has partnered with Gathered Here to offer you the opportunity to write your Will online – completely FREE – and create a meaningful legacy for children living in poverty.
Already have a Will? You don’t need to start over – you can simply add a codicil (a short legal amendment) to include a gift to Variety.
Even a small portion of what’s left after taking care of your loved ones can make a big difference for Kiwi kids in need.
With Gathered Here, you can create a simple online Will in as little as 10 minutes, from the comfort of your own home. You’ll also enjoy free, unlimited updates for life, so your Will can grow and change as you do.
No payment is required – just the chance to leave a gift that transforms lives. Whether big or small, every bequest helps drive real and lasting change for children across Aotearoa.
Having an up-to-date Will is one of the most important steps you can take to care for your loved ones and ensure your values continue to make an impact.
Gathered Here is Australia and New Zealand’s top-rated Will-writing platform, making it easier than ever for caring people like you to create a legacy that matters.

Breaking the cycle for our Kiwi kids
We like to believe that New Zealand is a great place for children, but for many of our young people, this is not the case. Every day, 1 in 8 Kiwi kids go without the basic things that most of us take for granted.
Child poverty is one of the most important crises facing us today and, sadly, it may be with us for a long time yet. As long as that’s the case, Variety will be here to support children in need. But we need your help to do so.
Increasingly, people are choosing to change the lives of children and future generations by leaving a gift to Variety in their Will. You can too.
Why leave a gift in your Will?
By leaving a gift in your Will, you can give Kiwi kids in need a brighter future.
Your gift will enable Variety to provide tailored, flexible support to children across New Zealand. We partner with local communities; we work alongside schools, community agencies, social workers and healthcare professionals to identify children in need. Our transparent, robust processes ensure we’re making the most meaningful difference.
Variety depends on the generosity of people like you to help thousands of Kiwi kids in need thrive.
We promise to:
- Respect that your decision is private and personal and will treat it as such
- Recognise and understand that your family and loved ones come first in your Will
