042 Sarah Anderson, from Cancer Research UK on finding new skills, second careers and legacy innovation

Stephen George talks to Sarah Anderson, Senior Legacy Partnership Manager for the newly established Friends and Family Team at Cancer Research UK about her new and innovative role in legacies, on finding a career and place in the sector, searching for and finding talent and building new skills and using old ones.

Sarah has worked in Legacies at Cancer Research UK for almost 5 years, recently as an Area Legacy Manager, overseeing a UK-wide team of regionally based Community Legacy Managers that engaged with and cultivated long-term stewardship with legacy pledgers across the UK. She has over twenty years of charitable experience alongside corporate, media and private sector careers and a decade invested in legacy giving and relationship management.  She is passionate in supporting and mentoring those moving into the third sector, especially those who, like her, are investing in it as a second or third career path in life.
