Barking Gecko Legacy Circle

Leave a Legacy of Joy and Imagination

For over 35 years, Barking Gecko Arts has been inspiring young minds through the magic of the arts. Our work ensures that children across Western Australia—no matter where they live or what barriers they face—have access to storytelling, creativity, and world-class experiences. By leaving a bequest to Barking Gecko Arts, you can help secure this legacy for generations to come.

Why Leave a Gift in Your Will?

A bequest is a powerful way to ensure that the transformative power of imagination continues to enrich young lives well into the future. Your generosity can support:

• The development of new Australian works that bring young people's stories to the stage.
• Regional and remote touring, and residencies ensuring children across Western Australia can experience live theatre and arts programming.
• Our Access & Inspire programs, which provide subsidised tickets, transport assistance, and creative learning opportunities.
• The nurturing of emerging artists, writers, musicians, dancers and theatre-makers, ensuring a vibrant future for the Australian Arts Sector.

• The enhancement of social and emotional well-being, as the arts fosters empathy, resilience, and confidence in young audiences.

How to Leave a Bequest

Leaving a bequest is a simple yet significant way to support Barking Gecko Arts. There are several ways you can leave a gift:

• Residual Bequest – After taking care of loved ones, you can leave the remainder (or a percentage) of your estate to Barking Gecko Arts.
• Specific Bequest – A nominated sum or particular asset (can be donated).
• Percentage Bequest – A fixed percentage of your total estate can be gifted.

We recommend consulting your solicitor or financial advisor to ensure your wishes are clearly reflected in your will.
