Overview
Gambling Connection: ACTIONAID is a registered charity, not a commercial gambling business. It holds a Society Lottery Operating Licence from the UKGC, which permits it to run lotteries to generate funds for its charitable activities.
ACTIONAID is a private company limited by guarantee, first incorporated on 21 January 1977. According to Companies House, its official status is active, and its registered office is in London. The company's stated nature of business includes social work and educational activities, which aligns with its function as a charity.
The company's connection to the UK gambling industry comes from its fundraising activities. ACTIONAID holds an active licence from the UK Gambling Commission, which allows it to operate society lotteries. This is a common and regulated method for non-commercial organisations to raise money for their causes.
In terms of ownership, ACTIONAID has no registered Persons with Significant Control (PSCs). Instead, it has filed a statement with Companies House confirming that no individual or entity has significant control over the organisation. This structure is typical for a company limited by guarantee, where control is held by its members rather than shareholders.
The company's governance reflects its long history and large scale. Public records show a large and active board of directors, which is consistent with its high corporate governance score. This indicates a well-established structure for managing its operations.
Governance
ACTIONAID is managed by a large board of directors. As a company limited by guarantee, it has formally declared that no single person or entity holds significant control, which is a standard structure for a charitable organisation of its type.
