THE BEDFORD COLLEGE ASSOCIATION SPECIAL FUND 

Granting of bursaries to former students of Bedford College, Royal Holloway College and Royal Holloway & Bedford New College.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
