| Ballarat Legacy Club was founded in 1926 by William Brazenor and R C Bishop. From the outset the need
wasto look after the interests of children of deceased soldiers in the Ballarat district. It
was the third Legacy Club founded in Australia. A short time later this was extended to include the widows of their deceased comrades.
Over time Ballarat Legacy Club extended Its influence to a wider area and now includes an area reaching from Bacchus Marsh in the East to St.Arnaud in the West; Daylesford to the North and Meridith to the South.
Identifying a need for companionship, Ballarat Legacy Club founded the first 'Laurel Club' for the widows in 1971. Today most Legacy Clubs have similar arrangements.
Today Ballarat Legacy Club maintains a membership of about 75 Legatees and assists some 1200 widows and dependants.
