UK App Unites 11,000 Charities in One Monthly Donation

Donating to charity just got a lot simpler thanks to a new app that puts thousands of good causes at your fingertips.

Legacy, a nonprofit platform launched in Hove, brings together more than 11,000 UK charities in one place. Users can split their monthly donation across multiple organizations, track where their money goes, and get updates on the real impact they're making.

The app solves a problem many generous people face: wanting to help but feeling overwhelmed by the logistics. Creating accounts with different charities, managing multiple payments, and wondering if your money is making a difference can turn good intentions into dropped donations.

"There's no shortage of people who care; what's often missing is a simple and rewarding way to act on that," said Herbie Wildwood, CEO of Legacy. "Legacy is built to help turn good intentions into ongoing support for the causes doing incredible work."

The platform operates as a nonprofit itself, meaning any extra funds get redistributed back to charitable causes. It's designed to work like the mobile-first experiences people expect in every part of their lives, but built specifically for the charity sector.

Users can discover new organizations, adjust their giving anytime, and even pause donations when needed. The app includes impact tracking, tax-year reporting, and curated newsfeeds so donors stay connected to the causes they support.

Co-founder Maria Wildwood points out that most charities lack resources to build sophisticated digital tools on their own. "Donors don't want dozens of different apps," she said. "Legacy acts as shared infrastructure that connects both sides more effectively."

The Ripple Effect

The platform's real power lies in encouraging recurring donations, which help charities build stable, predictable funding. For smaller or lesser-known organizations, this visibility could be transformative.

Transparency runs through every feature. Clear reporting, impact metrics, and privacy-first design help build trust between donors and charities. The goal isn't just to move existing donations around but to increase the total amount of money flowing into the sector.

"Success is helping more people support more charities more consistently," Wildwood said.

In a world where financial pressures squeeze the nonprofit sector while changing how people give, Legacy offers infrastructure that benefits everyone: donors get simplicity and connection, while charities get sustainable support and access to new supporters.
