1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Welcome in to October, which means we have moved on 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: from wills months. Although getting our affairs in order, that's 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: a good idea any time, it doesn't matter what months 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: of the year it is. We heard yesterday from Legal 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: Eagle Jane Argle reed from Argyle Welsh Finnegan the importance 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: of having a will in place and how to get 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: it done, etc. Of course, when we think of a will, 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: you often think of it is sort of journaling the 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: stuff that we're leaving behind for friends and family. But 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: how about the option of leaving something behind for the community. 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: Q Carolyn Clough from Advance Eshburton. 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: Where there's a will, there's a way to give back. 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: Ah, stop it, you'd be rehearsing there. I love it. 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: I've been telling the story just lately of En Glasie. 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: He was a single man with no children and his 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: estate was left to Advance Heshburton. The causes he was 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: really passionate about, with the environment and health, and also 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: those lovely six charities that he'd supported. So every year 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: we make an annual donation in End's name to those 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: six charities, but we also have the ability to grant 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: to the causes He loved the environment and in health, 22 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: and we've supported an incredible number of groups through his generosity. 23 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: We've now given more than he gave us, and that 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: fund is grown bigger than when he initially gave it 25 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: to us. 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: Perpetual growth, that's the thing. 27 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: Well, we're in it forever. So when donors give us money, 28 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: that's invested for the long term forever. So with ends fund, 29 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: we've now given back more than he gave us initially 30 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: and we still have that initial donation which has now grown. 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: It's incredible. It's just that's the most amazing thing. 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Yeah. Is it a difficult thing to do then, 33 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: to stipulate how you want to give? 34 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. 35 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: You know. With with our lawyers, I often say, look, 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: you know your clients, but we know philanthropy. So we 37 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: whilst we have people who walk in and they might 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: have an idea about what they want to do, we 39 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: are the people who know about the needs in our community. 40 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 2: We're exposed to that on a daily basis, and we're 41 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: out there in the community meeting with these people receiving 42 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 2: their grant applications. We know what's happening and so we 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: love to have that conversation where we can share that 44 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: and give people a really wide understanding of our community 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: and the needs now and projected into the future, but. 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 3: Also the gaps in the community because you know, when 47 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: Carolyn and I met with this lovely couple, they had 48 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: an idea of what they wanted to do, and Carolyn see, well, actually, 49 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: you know that that area and that funding stream in 50 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: our community is already quite well looked after. But you 51 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 3: mentioned previously that you wanted to do X Y Z edge. 52 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: There's a bit of a gap there and this is 53 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: how you might want to have a think about providing 54 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 3: for this other option. And that was brilliant. It was 55 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: so worthwhile doing. 56 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: And if people are, you know, at this point where 57 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: they're thinking, gosh, I must do that, what you can 58 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: do is go to the advanceagebuton website dubb dubdub dot 59 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: advance chebuten dot org dot nz and we have a 60 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: free wills information pack that you can download. It's our 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: local lawyers in the community have contributed to that. There's 62 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: lots of fantastic advice and it's a really good opportunity 63 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: to get thinking in that space before you make the 64 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: appointment with your lawyer to actually talk about your wishes. 65 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: You've already done that thinking and planning beforehand, then you 66 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: go and get it sorted. And also there's the opportunity 67 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: to give us a call, and it costs nothing to 68 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: talk to Advanced Agebooten, so we're happy to sit down 69 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: with people and talk about their wishes for their legacy 70 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: in the future.
