Overview

Gambling Connection: AGE UK holds an active Society Lottery licence from the UKGC. This allows the charity to legally run lotteries to raise funds for its work supporting older people.

AGE UK was incorporated on 20 February 2009 and operates as a non-profit organisation. Its official classification at Companies House is for residential care activities, but it also has a connection to the gambling industry through its fundraising.

The charity holds an active Society Lottery licence from the UK Gambling Commission, first granted on 4 April 2022. This licence allows AGE UK to run its own lotteries and raffles, which are common methods for charities to raise money for their causes. It doesn't operate commercial casino or betting sites.

Reflecting its charitable structure, AGE UK has formally declared that it has no single individual or entity with significant control. This is a standard arrangement for a company limited by guarantee. Its governance is managed by a large board of directors, the majority of whom are UK residents, which is consistent with its high corporate health score of A+.

Governance

The company is overseen by a large board of directors and two company secretaries, which is typical for a major national charity. It has no persons with significant control, which is consistent with its structure as a company limited by guarantee.
