Overview
Gambling Connection: BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION holds an active UK Gambling Commission licence, first issued on 24 October 2014. This is consistent with a registered charity running a society lottery to raise funds for its conservation mission.
BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION is a private limited company by guarantee, meaning it's a not-for-profit organisation rather than a commercial business. It was incorporated on 17 December 1987 and has been continuously active for over 38 years, placing it among the longest-standing entities in the Saferwager database.
The company's score of 100 out of 100 (grade A+) reflects strong governance across every measure: active status, long incorporation history, full compliance filings, a large UK-resident board, and clean financials. It doesn't get higher than this.
As a charity, it doesn't operate commercial gambling services. Its UKGC licence connects to fundraising activity, typically a society lottery used to support conservation work. That's a well-established and legally recognised route for charities to raise money in the UK.
Governance
BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION has 9 current directors, all of British nationality and all UK-resident. The board size is substantial for a charity, reflecting its scale and governance standards. There are no individual or entity PSCs on record, which is standard for a company of this structure, and a formal exemption statement was filed with Companies House on 6 April 2017.
