Bequests / Flinders Perry Telethon Trust

In 2006 Operation Flinders established the Flinders Perry Telethon Trust to receive funds in the form of donations or bequests.  The Trust was set up to seek, invest and provide funding to the Operation Flinders Foundation to support the work of the Foundation.

Funds donated will be invested in blue chip investments with the aim of growing the fund, and every 12 months a grant will be provided to the Foundation to assist it with the running of the program.

To learn more about the Flinders Perry Telethon Trust please visit the website.

If you chose to remember Operation Flinders with a bequest in your will, it is important to consult your legal advisor to ensure that your wishes are recorded in a legally binding form.

We also hope that you let us know of your intentions so that we may acknowledge your generous gift.  Operation Flinders owes an enormous debt of gratitude to the people who help us in our work.  We would like to express our thanks to you personally.

To discuss this matter further please contact John Shepherd, AM.
