The ILM Joins Charities and Legal Professionals Across the UK to Celebrate Remember A Charity Week

This September, the ILM is proud to be joining forces with hundreds of charities, professional advisers, and partners across the UK to celebrate Remember A Charity Week.

The campaign focuses on raising awareness about legacy giving, including educating people about the generous tax incentives and the essential funding it provides for vital services across the country – both now and for future generations.

Matthew Lagden, ILM CEO, says: “Matthew Lagden, ILM CEO, says: “We’re delighted to support this year’s Remember A Charity Week. In raising awareness about legacy giving, the campaign provides an excellent opportunity for our members to highlight the impact legacies make to their organisation and inspire new pledgers to consider leaving them a gift in their will.”

As many of our members will be aware, thanks to the generous acts of everyday people, the UK ‘Willanthropy’ movement continues to grow – with around 100 people a day across the UK now choosing to leave a gift to charity in their Will. Remember A Charity week provides an opportunity for us all to inspire even more people to consider what they wish to be remembered for.

Remember A Charity Week (9-15 September 2024) is an annual celebration of the power and impact of legacy giving. Throughout the week, campaign partners, solicitors, Will-writers, charities and others will be championing the legacy message, encouraging people across the country to help build a brighter future by leaving a gift in their Will.
