Overview

Gambling Connection: DOWN'S SYNDROME ASSOCIATION holds an active UK Gambling Commission licence, first granted in 2009, which allows it to run charitable lotteries or similar fundraising activities for its charitable purposes.

DOWN'S SYNDROME ASSOCIATION is a private company limited by guarantee, a legal structure common to UK charities and non-profit organisations. It's been incorporated since 30 January 1997 and has maintained active status throughout its 29-year history. The company is registered at the Langdon Down Centre in Teddington.

It's registered under SIC code 86900 (other human health activities), reflecting its work as a charitable organisation rather than a commercial gambling business. The company's A+ score of 100 reflects its long track record, active status, UK-based governance, and clean compliance history. Its PSC exemption is consistent with the structure of a guarantee company where no individual holds controlling interest.

The board has remained stable over many years, with several directors holding their appointments for over a decade. That longevity is unusual even among established organisations, and it contributes directly to the high governance score.

Governance

The company has a sizeable board of 6 current UK-resident directors, with the longest-serving appointed in 1997. There are no persons with significant control (PSCs), which is standard for a guarantee company of this type. The current company secretary was appointed in March 2022.
