Nikita Gandhi
Legacy and In Memory Manager
My fundraising career began at Comic Relief as my first job after university before I joined Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, where I worked across individual giving, community fundraising, legacies and in memory fundraising. Having discovered a passion for legacy and in memory giving I’ve spent the last five years specialising in these areas.
I am now the Legacy and In Memory Giving Manager at Refuge, where I lead the charity’s legacy and in memory programme and am passionate about growing these vital income streams and supporting donors to leave a lasting impact.
