BEDINGFIELD'S TRUST 

The advancement of legal education among the members and students of Gray's Inn
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
