When my husband Ced died, Legacy sent a welfare officer out straight away. They helped me through a maze of applications, red tape and so on. They knew exactly how to help me, and I eventually got a pension.This meant that I could remain independent much longer. 

Legacy gives me a sense of security. I know I will always be looked after and they will always there to provide support and companionship. It is wonderful that Legacy has been helping us ladies for so long and so comforting to know they aim to always be there.
