CONTACT A FAMILY
CONTACT A FAMILY is a long-established UK charity, incorporated in 1982, that has recently entered the regulated gambling space after obtaining a UKGC operator licence in February 2026. It holds a company score of 100 (A+), reflecting over four decades of active operation and strong governance. Its primary work is social support, but its new gambling licence brings it into scope for regulatory scrutiny.

Overview
Gambling Connection: CONTACT A FAMILY holds an active UKGC operator licence obtained in February 2026, which is why it appears in this database. Charities of this type typically seek gambling licences to run fundraising lotteries or prize-draw schemes rather than commercial betting or gaming operations.
CONTACT A FAMILY is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 5 May 1982, making it one of the more long-standing corporate entities in our database. Its SIC classification covers other social work activities, which reflects its origins as a charitable organisation rather than a commercial gambling business. That context matters when reading its profile here.
The company earns a company score of 100 (A+), the highest grade available. That score reflects its continuous active status over more than four decades, a large and active UK-based board, timely filing history, and a PSC exemption statement consistent with charitable governance structures. It's the kind of corporate record that signals institutional stability rather than a fly-by-night operation.
What brings CONTACT A FAMILY into scope on Saferwager is its UKGC operator licence, obtained in February 2026. The licence is new and the operator account shows no years of licensed history yet. It's worth watching how this connection develops, as charities entering the gambling space often do so through fundraising lotteries or prize draws rather than commercial gaming.
Governance
CONTACT A FAMILY has a large board of 10 current directors, all UK-resident, which is typical for a charity governed by a trustee board. There are no registered PSCs. A PSC exemption statement has been on record since December 2016, declaring no individual or entity with significant control, which is standard practice for non-profit guarantee companies where control rests collectively with the membership rather than a single owner.
