Legacy events

Our free legacy events are a great opportunity to learn how gifts in wills help people in crisis, hear impactful stories first-hand and meet the teams behind our humanitarian work.

What happens at a legacy event?

  • Hear inspiring stories from our UK and international response teams on the impact of our work for people in crisis.
  • Meet like-minded fellow supporters and connect with your local community legacy manager.
  • Learn about gifts in wills and how they power our work. There's no pressure to commit to leaving a gift - just come along to learn more
  • Chat with our staff and volunteers who’ll be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
  • Enjoy a beautiful venue near you with refreshments and time to explore.

Our legacy events are popular. They help supporters learn more about our vital work around the world, as well as feel reassured that their support will make a difference. We have some beautiful venues, fascinating speakers, and we’re a friendly team - so please come along, we’d love to meet you.
