Overview

Gambling Connection: ERSKINE VETERANS CHARITY obtained a UK Gambling Commission licence in January 2025, indicating it runs a licensed gambling operation, likely a charitable lottery or raffle, to raise funds for its veterans' care services.

ERSKINE VETERANS CHARITY is a Scottish charitable company limited by guarantee, registered at Companies House under number SC174103. It's been operating since 4 April 1997, giving it nearly three decades of corporate history. The charity's primary activities cover medical and residential care services, with SIC classifications reflecting its work in healthcare and care for elderly and disabled people.

With a company score of 94 (A+), ERSKINE VETERANS CHARITY ranks among the best-governed entities in the Saferwager database. That score reflects its active status, long incorporation history, a full board of UK-resident directors, and a PSC exemption statement consistent with charitable governance structures. There are no outstanding charges against the company.

The PSC exemption declaration, filed in March 2017, confirms that no individual or entity holds significant control over the charity. This is standard for UK charities structured as companies limited by guarantee, where control rests collectively with the board rather than with any single person or corporate owner.

Governance

The charity is governed by a board of 14 current directors, all UK-resident. No individual holds significant control, as confirmed by a PSC exemption statement on the Companies House register. This collective governance structure is typical for charities of this type.
