Overview

Gambling Connection: BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION holds an active UKGC gambling licence, first granted in May 2010, to operate fundraising lotteries and raffles. The licence is held as a charitable fundraising tool, not as a commercial gambling business.

BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION is a private company limited by guarantee with no share capital, the legal structure used by most UK charities. It's been incorporated since 28 July 1961, giving it over six decades of continuous operation. That longevity, combined with active status and a well-governed board, earns it a company score of 100 (A+).

The charity's SIC classification (86900, other human health activities) reflects its core purpose rather than any commercial gambling activity. Its connection to the gambling sector comes entirely from fundraising. BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION holds a UKGC licence to run lotteries and prize draws as a way of generating donations, which is common among major UK charities.

As a charity limited by guarantee, there are no shareholders and no individual or entity holds significant control. The PSC register records a formal exemption statement on that basis, which is standard for organisations of this type.

Governance

BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION has a large board of 10 current directors, all resident in the United Kingdom. The board mix includes medical professionals and senior executives, which is typical for a charity of this scale and profile. No individual or entity holds significant control, as formally declared under the PSC regime.
