Overview

Gambling Connection: CATHOLIC AGENCY FOR OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted in July 2015, used to run charitable lotteries and prize draws as part of its fundraising activities.

CATHOLIC AGENCY FOR OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT is a not-for-profit organisation registered in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee. It's been incorporated since January 2015 and operates from its registered office at Romero House in London. The company's primary purpose falls under social work activities, and its gambling licence is ancillary to its charitable fundraising rather than a commercial gambling operation.

With a company score of 96 (A+), CATHOLIC AGENCY FOR OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT ranks among the best-governed entities in our database. It has a large board of current directors, the majority resident in the United Kingdom, and accounts filed within an acceptable timeframe. The company carries no outstanding charges and no individual or entity holds significant control, which is standard for charities of this type.

Its ten-year licensing history with the UK Gambling Commission reflects a long-standing and compliant fundraising programme. That clean record, combined with its active status and strong governance indicators, gives it one of the highest trust grades on the platform.

Governance

The company has a large board of 14 current directors, 13 of whom are UK-resident. A formal PSC statement declares that no individual or entity holds significant control, which is typical for a company limited by guarantee operating as a registered charity.
