ince 1923 Legacy has kept a promise to help the families of our military servicemen; the widows and children left behind. It’s a long time since Melbourne Legacy (Peninsula Group) was founded in 1954, with the Melbourne Legacy’s peninsula group becoming autonomous 11 years later. Yet the Mornington Peninsula branch of Legacy continues to help almost 1200 widows.

Leonard with Alexander and their mother Linna, have all been helped by Legacy.
