Last night, our Birdwatcher campaign for Canal & River Trust won 2nd place at the Smiley Charity Film Awards. And that was just while we were out at another awards ceremony!

At the Smee & Ford Legacy Giving Awards, our work was shortlisted for Legacy Campaign of the Year twice – for ‘Birdwatcher’, and ‘Change The Story’ with Muscular Dystrophy UK. Consider was also nominated for Best Creative Partner to the Legacy Sector, an award we were proud to bring home in 2024.

We didn’t take home any S&F trophies this time, but we couldn’t be prouder of the teams that made it all possible – or of what we’ve achieved together.

‘Birdwatcher’, Canal & River Trust’s first ever large-scale gifts in Wills campaign, generated over 4,000 requests for our Canal Guide response pack, smashing an annual target of 500 in just four weeks.

Huge congratulations to last night’s winners — and thank you to the teams over at Canal & River Trust and MDUK. It’s been an honour.

If you’re looking for an award-winning partner with over 20 years’ experience in the sector for your legacy fundraising, we’d love to hear from you.
