How we’re run
Remember A Charity is part of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising. Our mission is to grow legacy giving across the UK. We work closely with our members to achieve that mission through our Executive committee and Campaign Council.
What is our Executive committee and Campaign Council?
Our Executive committee and Campaign Council are made up of representatives from a mix of member charities of varying sizes and causes.
The Executive group meet regularly to monitor the progress of the campaign and to provide strategic direction and support to the Remember A Charity team.
The wider Campaign Council, including the Executive group, meet quarterly to review, consult and advise on the campaign, guiding our ongoing decision-making in line with our mission of growing the legacy market.
