**Legacy Foresight is launching a dedicated version of its national Legacy Monitor
programme, specifically for hospices.**

 

[Hospice Legacy Monitor](https://www.legacyforesight.co.uk/benchmarking/news/#introducing-hospice-legacy-monitor)
has been developed to help fundraising and finance teams understand recent performance
and future potential relative to other hospice charities, and the wider charity 
sector. It will help to make the case for more legacy investment and to shape legacy
fundraising strategies across the sector.  It is also cheaper than the national 
Legacy Monitor programme, and data only needs to be supplied once a year.

Meg Abdy, [Legacy Foresight](http://www.legacyforesight.co.uk/) Development Director
said:

 

> “Gifts in wills are a vital source of income for British hospices, representing
> one-fifth of their total income. However, year on year income at individual hospices
> can be highly volatile, making it difficult to see the bigger picture.
> “We appreciate that hospice funds and resources are tight, so we’ve designed Hospice
> Legacy Monitor as a streamlined version of the national Legacy Monitor, available
> at half the cost of the national programme.
> “Hospices are a very important part of the legacy sector, accounting for around
> 8% of all legacy income, so it benefits all our clients, including the large national
> charities, to understand more about their performance.”

 

The programme has been developed with the cooperation of Hospice UK and is being
promoted directly to its members.
