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.”
