**Legacy administration and marketing specialists Legacy Link have announced a bursary
award to enable two people to study for the ILM Certificate in Charity Legacy Administration.**

The new annual award is open to those who work or voluntary at a UK charity and 
who feel they would benefit from increasing their skills and knowledge in the legacy
administration process.

The bursary has been established in honour of Crispin Ellison, who retired as Director
of Legacy Link last year, “in recognition of the huge contribution he made to our
sector over the years”.
