Legacy Widows’ Clubs

Legacy Widows’ Clubs support widows by facilitating comradeship, combating loneliness and fostering a spirit of self help under the umbrella of Legacy. Approximately 25% of our widows are members of the 36 Legacy Widows’ Clubs/Social Groups located throughout South Australia and Broken Hill. These Widows’ Clubs/Social Groups provide a most important service to our widows and a very valuable level of support to Legacy activities.

The Clubs are run by the widows themselves but come under the umbrella of Legacy SA&BH and operate under a Constitution issued by Legacy. Each is supported as necessary and assisted by their Legatee Liaison Officer.

Contact us for Widows Clubs, their locations and meeting times in your area.

Legacy Social Groups

For those Legacy widows who still want to have social interaction with other Legacy widows, but without the structure and formality of a Legacy Widows Club, an alternative is a Legacy Social Group. These Groups still provide the benefits outlined above, but without the requirement for Office Bearers, Minutes of meetings or financial reporting.

There are currently only 25 such groups, but we expect the number to grow considerably over the coming years.

For details of meeting place & times contact Legacy Office on 08 8231 9812.
