Overview

Gambling Connection: HORSEWORLD TRUST holds a UKGC operator licence, first issued in December 2017, which has been active for over eight years. For a charity, this typically indicates the organisation runs a lottery or raffle-based fundraising scheme regulated under UK gambling law.

HORSEWORLD TRUST is a private company limited by guarantee with exemption from using 'limited' in its name, a structure typically used by charities and not-for-profit organisations. It was incorporated on 28 August 2007 and has maintained active status for over 18 years, giving it one of the longer corporate histories among UKGC-connected entities. Its company score of 95 (A+) reflects strong governance, a clean compliance record, and a fully UK-based board.

The company has 10 current directors, all UK residents, and a long-serving secretary appointed in 2008. There's no person with significant control registered at Companies House, with the trust filing a no-PSC exemption statement in August 2016. That's consistent with its charitable structure, where control typically rests with the board rather than any individual or entity.

HORSEWORLD TRUST's SIC codes cover veterinary activities, educational support services, and other membership organisations, reflecting its charitable purpose around horse welfare and equine education. Its gambling licence appears to relate to fundraising activities, a common route for charitable organisations operating lotteries or raffles.

Governance

HORSEWORLD TRUST has a large board of 10 current directors, all UK residents, which is typical of a charitable trust with volunteer governance. The board has been stable over recent years, with four directors appointed in early 2024. No person with significant control is registered, in line with a no-PSC exemption statement filed in August 2016.
