Christian Aid has received a legacy gift of £1.2 million from Mrs Katherine Mary
Ball from Wellingborough, who died in December 2006 aged 92. She had been a supporter
of the charity since 1987.

Legacies represent about 10% of Christian Aid’s income. Colin Kemp, Christian Aid’s
legacy manager, said: “Mrs Ball’s legacy is about more than just money – it will
enable Christian Aid, and our partner organisations, to invest in people’s futures
and bring about real lasting change for generations to come.”
