Overview
Gambling Connection: GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL CHILDREN'S CHARITY holds an active UKGC gambling licence, first issued on 31 January 2022, which allows it to run charitable lotteries and prize promotions as a fundraising mechanism.
GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL CHILDREN'S CHARITY is registered in England and Wales as a private limited company by guarantee, a structure commonly used by charities that don't distribute profits to members. It's been active since 3 December 2014 and is registered at 40 Bernard Street, London WC1N 1LE, close to Great Ormond Street Hospital itself. Its primary activity is classified under human health activities rather than gambling, reflecting its charitable purpose.
The company scores 96 out of 100, earning an A+ grade. That score reflects its active status, long-standing incorporation of over 11 years, a large and predominantly UK-resident board, and a current PSC exemption statement, which applies to charitable structures of this kind. There's no enforcement history on record.
It's been UKGC-licensed since January 2022, giving it just over four years of continuous licensing. Charitable organisations often use gambling licences to run lotteries and prize draws as a legitimate fundraising method, and that's the case here.
Governance
The charity has a large board of 15 current directors, all UK-resident, reflecting the governance expectations for a high-profile charitable organisation. A current PSC exemption statement has been in place since 1 October 2019, noting no individual or entity with significant control, which is standard for charities operating under this corporate structure.
