Overview

Gambling Connection: BLOOD CANCER UK RESEARCH holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted on 24 September 2009. The licence covers charitable lottery and fundraising draw activity, not commercial gambling operations.

BLOOD CANCER UK RESEARCH was incorporated on 17 October 1962, making it one of the longest-standing non-profit organisations in our database with over 63 years of continuous operation. It's structured as a private company limited by guarantee with no share capital, the standard legal form for UK charities rather than commercial businesses.

The organisation's SIC classifications cover other research and experimental development on natural sciences and human health activities, which reflects its core charitable mission rather than any gambling industry role. It earns an A+ company score of 100, the highest possible, driven by its exceptional longevity, active status, clean compliance record, and all-UK board.

Its connection to UKGC regulation stems from charitable lottery fundraising. The organisation doesn't operate gambling products in any commercial sense. It's licensed to run lotteries and prize draws as a fundraising mechanism, a common approach among major UK charities.

Governance

BLOOD CANCER UK RESEARCH has a large board of 12 current directors, all of whom are UK residents. The mix of British and Canadian nationals reflects the charity's broad recruitment of trustees. The company has filed a PSC exemption statement confirming there's no individual or entity with significant control, consistent with the mutual ownership structure of a charitable guarantee company.
