Overview
Gambling Connection: DEVON AIR AMBULANCE TRUST holds an active UKGC gambling licence to operate a charitable lottery, which funds its air ambulance services. This licence is the sole reason it appears in the regulated gambling operator database.
DEVON AIR AMBULANCE TRUST is a private company limited by guarantee, a legal structure typical of UK charities that don't have shareholders. It was incorporated on 30 September 1999 and has remained continuously active for over 26 years, with its registered office in Exeter. Its primary activity is operating air ambulance services across Devon, classified under SIC code 51102 (non-scheduled air transport).
The trust's presence in Saferwager's database stems from its UKGC gambling licence, obtained to run a charitable lottery that helps fund its operations. This is common practice for UK charities seeking to supplement fundraising income. The trust carries a company score of 97 (A+), reflecting its long-standing active status, clean compliance record, and UK-based governance.
As a company limited by guarantee, it has no shareholders and no persons with significant control, which is expected for this type of charitable organisation. The large trustee board and long track record point to a well-governed institution with no substantive corporate concerns.
Governance
DEVON AIR AMBULANCE TRUST has a large board of UK-resident trustees (directors), which is standard for a charity of this type. There are no persons with significant control, as the trust has filed a PSC exemption statement confirming no individual or entity holds significant control, in line with its charitable guarantee structure.
