The
Guild and its Mission
The War Widows’ Guild of
Australia NSW Ltd, originally established in 1946, is a
not for profit membership-based organization whose
mission is to promote and protect the interests of war
widows in New South Wales. After years operating as an
incorporated association, the Guild became a public company
limited by guarantee in 1998. It is a public benevolent
institution with deductible gift recipient status.
The
Guild operates with significant volunteer input from
its 9,500 members in NSW. However, because of the size and complexity of
running the organization, it has a small staff to manage
the day to day operations.
Guild Motto
The Motto was adopted by the
national Guild in 1949 at its third annual conference to
set the mood, the tone, the harmony, the
working-together of not only the conference but the
Guild in the years to come.
“We all belong to each
other. We all need each other. It is in serving each
other and in sacrificing for our common good that we are
finding our true life.”
Extract from Message by King
George VI.
