Overview

Gambling Connection: BREAST CANCER NOW holds an active UKGC gambling licence, first issued in July 2015, to run charitable fundraising lotteries and prize draws. It isn't a commercial gambling operator but appears in the UKGC register as a licensed society.

BREAST CANCER NOW is a UK charity incorporated on 9 December 2014 as a private company limited by guarantee. It operates in the human health sector and has been continuously active for over 11 years. The company's grade A score reflects its long operational history, an entirely UK-resident board, and no outstanding compliance concerns on record.

As a guarantee company, BREAST CANCER NOW has no shareholders and no individual or entity with significant control. A formal PSC exemption statement has been in place since December 2016, which is standard for charities of this structure. The organisation is governed by a large board of 12 current directors, bringing a broad mix of medical and professional expertise.

The charity obtained a UKGC gambling licence in July 2015 and has held it continuously for over 10 years. This licence covers fundraising activity such as charity lotteries and prize draws rather than commercial gambling operations.

Governance

BREAST CANCER NOW is governed by a board of 12 current directors, all UK-resident, covering a range of medical, scientific, and business backgrounds. There are no persons with significant control. A PSC exemption statement confirmed in December 2016 applies on the basis that no individual or entity holds significant control, which is consistent with its charitable guarantee structure.
