UK Fundraising, 23 September 2024: Legacy bequest numbers grow 7%, according to latest consortium data
Annual charitable bequest numbers have grown by 7%, reaching 62,100 in the year to June 2024, according to Legacy Futures’ quarterly Legacy Monitor.
Legacy Futures attributes the growth in legacy bequests primarily to continuing improvements in the probate process at HM Courts and Tribunals Service, which it says is continuing to process more grants than applications, so reducing the backlog of cases.
