Overview

Gambling Connection: COPE CHILDREN'S TRUST holds an active UKGC operator licence, used to run charitable fundraising lotteries in support of its children's health services. This places it in the Saferwager database as a licensed gambling entity.

COPE CHILDREN'S TRUST is a private company limited by guarantee without share capital, a structure commonly used by UK charities and not-for-profit organisations. Incorporated in August 1992, it has over 33 years of continuous operation and remains in active status with Companies House. Its SIC classification under other human health activities reflects its core charitable purpose rather than commercial gambling.

The trust's gambling activity is limited to charitable fundraising, which is a common and legally recognised arrangement for UK charities holding UKGC licences. It has been licensed since 2009, giving it more than 17 years of regulatory standing with no enforcement history on record. That clean track record, combined with its age and governance structure, earns it a company score of 100 out of 100 and an A+ grade.

As a charity, it doesn't have persons with significant control in the conventional sense. Companies House records a formal exemption statement confirming this, which is standard practice for organisations of this type and doesn't indicate any transparency concern.

Governance

The trust is governed by a large board of 13 current directors, all UK-based, which is typical for a well-established charity with active trustee recruitment. There are no persons with significant control registered, as the company holds a formal PSC exemption statement, consistent with its structure as a guarantee company without shareholders.
