Overview
Gambling Connection: MARIE CURIE holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted in 2009, which it uses to run charitable lotteries and prize draws as part of its fundraising activities. It isn't a commercial gambling business.
MARIE CURIE is one of the UK's longest-standing charitable organisations, incorporated on 3 May 1952 as a private company limited by guarantee. It's registered at One Embassy Gardens in London and operates across health and information services, running hospices and community nursing programmes throughout the UK.
Its connection to the gambling sector comes through a UKGC operator licence held continuously since 2009, used to run charitable lotteries that help fund its care services. That's a common fundraising route for large charities, and MARIE CURIE's record is clean. A company score of 100 (A+) reflects its active status, over seven decades of incorporation, and a large, predominantly UK-resident board with no outstanding compliance concerns.
The charity operates under a PSC exemption, which is standard for organisations of this type. It doesn't have individual shareholders in any conventional sense, so no person or entity with significant control is registered at Companies House.
Governance
MARIE CURIE has a large board with 16 current directors, the majority UK-resident. A formal PSC exemption statement is on record, reflecting the charity's guarantee-based structure with no individual holding significant control. The board has seen several appointments and resignations in recent years but maintains strong continuity.
