Hi all,

The IoF Legacy and In Memory SIG committee are delighted to bring you our autumn/winter event!

As ever, this event is free to attend. We would like to thank our sponsors, Capacity Marketing, Legacy Foresight, LegacyLink and MuchLoved for making this possible. We ask that you try and stick to a maximum of two tickets per charity to give more organisations the opportunity to attend. If you have a large team check back a week or so before the event and book extra tickets if they are still available. And please cancel your ticket if you discover you can no longer attend.

The event will be held on Wednesday 21 November at Lift, Islington.

We will be circulating last year’s AGMs minutes shortly. A couple of committee members are stepping down in November and this has opened up two places on the committee. If you are interested in joining please send a supporting statement on what you could bring to the committee to Legacyinmem@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk by 11 November. The group will vote on new members during the AGM.

Many thanks,

The committee
