    “We don’t just want people to survive, we want them to live.” It was wonderful to hear from Sarah Newman (nee. Blake) and Chloe Fairbrother (she/her) last week, who joined us from Cancer Research UK (CRUK). As Kyla Vanbrook says, they talked about the incredible impact of legacy giving and explained some of the research programmes that gifts in wills are helping to fund (and have already funded!) As our team works on the other side of things – helping people to write their wills and leave those meaningful gifts - it’s always inspiring to hear these stories. There really is so much good you can do by leaving a gift in your will, whether it’s large or small you can help make a difference too. #CharityFundraising #LegacyGiving

    Last Thursday, we had the lovely Sarah Newman (nee. Blake) visit our office to talk about the AMAZING things that Cancer Research UK (CRUK) does and how legacies are funding research not just in the UK, but around the world! The fabulous Chloe Fairbrother (she/her) also joined us, to help answer all the questions our team had about what legacies mean at CRUK! More than 1,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day, and a diagnosis not only changes their lives but the lives of their loved ones, too. Sarah did a fantastic job explaining what Cancer Research UK (CRUK) is doing to help find new cures, make strides in prevention/early diagnosis and support the people who need it in their time of need. We are so proud of the work we've done to help Cancer Research UK (CRUK) in its mission to beat cancer. Over 1/3 of the charity’s income comes from gifts that supporters have left to CRUK in their wills. There are 100s of ways you can make a difference now and by living a gift in your will, you can make a world of difference for generations to come! 💜

    Are you a legacy fundraiser with a really long to-do list and limited time? We’ve developed a Legacy Marketing Assistant to help speed up the process from blank page to fully drafted campaign. If you're stuck, it'll help get you unstuck. If you're new to legacies, it'll give you a great place to start for creating simple, bespoke legacy campaigns in minutes. If this sounds interesting, register to join our webinar tomorrow at 11am to see a brand new AI use case for the legacy sector: “A Legacy Marketing Assistant in your pocket”, with Farewill and the Institute of Legacy Management. https://lnkd.in/egx3KEtS You’ll hear from our Partnerships and Engineering teams on the computing behind this beta version of the tool (tech-speak for ‘early stages’), and some real life case studies from Farewill charity partners who are already using it. Can’t attend the webinar? Get in touch at Farewill.com/charities and we’ll give you a demo! 💛 #CharityFundraising #LegacyGiving

    Introducing your legacy team’s new best friend… We’re excited to announce a new feature for charities! Our Marketing Assistant is developed specifically for free-wills programmes. It’ll help you create simple, bespoke legacy campaigns in minutes. Some of our charity partners are already using it – even though it’s still in beta (tech-speak for ‘early stages’). They’ve been helping us test it and they’ve been creating free-wills marketing campaigns of their own. So now we’re inviting you to peek behind the scenes: find out what makes it so special, how to use it, and what else we have planned. For more details, join us next Tuesday 1st October at 11am for a special webinar hosted by the Institute Of Legacy Management: https://lnkd.in/egx3KEtS If you’re a charity and you don’t have a legacy programme yet… Farewill provides what’s known as a 'Free wills service' to charities. Free wills services power legacy fundraising. They’re programmes where charities offer wills and will-writing guidance to their supporters free of charge, along with information on how the will writer could leave a gift to support the charity if they wish. Since 2016, our free wills service has supported thousands of campaigns from charities of all shapes, sizes and cause areas. It's helped to raise over £1billion in pledged income for charitable organisations across the UK. Our latest feature is an intelligent campaign generator. It uses AI and your brand’s tone of voice to create campaigns with you, using the structure and key messages we’ve seen work best. Find out how it works and what else we have planned. Can’t attend the webinar? Get in touch at www.farewill.com/charities and we’ll give you a demo! 😎

    Huge thanks to Institute Of Legacy Management for hosting the webinar about charity fundraising earlier. And thank you to Legacy Foresight for sharing inspiring facts and figures. This is our favourite: “It will take 50 years, and 2 million more marathon runners to raise as much as is donated in Gifts in Wills every year.” If you’re trying to convince people in your charity or organisation about the benefits of setting up a legacy giving programme, that’s definitely a stat to include in your pitch! #LegacyGiving #GiftsInWills #CharityFundraising
