Your trusted partner
In a rapidly changing world, it’s good to know there’s someone to support you at every step in your legacy journey.
One business, three teams
We bring together the sector’s leading practitioners, with over 60 consultants, to provide the unrivalled insight and analysis of Legacy Foresight, the strategic consultancy of Legacy Voice, and the diligent administration of Legacy Link.
"Being a legacy fundraiser can be a lonely place. It’s a niche area that’s strategically essential to charities and you have to involve many stakeholders with varying levels of understanding of legacy fundraising. So it’s great to have an external voice to bounce off."
Alex McDowell, Director of Fundraising, Revitalise
