THE BEDFORD MEMORIAL TRUST 

The charity makes gifts and donations to similar organisations as those supported by the charitable trust's founder.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
