Overview

Gambling Connection: COUNTY AIR AMBULANCE TRUST holds a UKGC licence to operate charitable lotteries, which is how it appears in the Gambling Commission's register. Its gambling activity is entirely fundraising-based, not commercial gambling.

COUNTY AIR AMBULANCE TRUST is a charitable organisation incorporated on 10 April 1995, structured as a private company limited by guarantee without share capital. It's been active for nearly 31 years, making it one of the longer-standing entities in the Saferwager database. With a company score of 94 (A+), it ranks among the highest-scoring organisations tracked here.

Its SIC classification (88990) sits outside gambling entirely. It's a social welfare organisation, and its connection to the gambling industry comes through its fundraising activity rather than any commercial betting operation. The charity holds a UKGC gambling licence specifically to run lotteries and prize draws that support air ambulance services in the county. That's a common and well-recognised model for UK charities.

The organisation has no outstanding charges and carries a formal statement that no individual or entity holds significant control over it, which is typical for a charitable trust of this structure. All directors on record are UK-based, and the board has been in place over many years with some members serving since the late 1990s.

Governance

The board has 12 current directors and a secretary, all UK-based. Some directors have served for over two decades, reflecting the stability typical of a long-running charitable trust. A formal PSC exemption statement was filed in April 2017, indicating no individual or entity with significant control, consistent with charitable governance structures.
