Charity Finance Live conference, October 19, 2009

Trends in voluntary income focussing on the future for legacies were the subject of a presentation by Cathy Pharoah at the recent Charity Finance Live conference, October 19, 2009. The figures suggest the outlook is gloomy. Legacy data indicate that changes in the value of legacies over the last five years have roughly tracked changes in GDP, with a year's time-lag. With falls in economic growth predicted for the short-term, legacies are also likely to see falling values for the next two years at least. Hear the presentation here.
