Overview

Gambling Connection: MENINGITIS RESEARCH FOUNDATION holds an active UKGC operator licence, first issued on 22 March 2021, allowing it to run regulated charitable lottery and fundraising draw activity in Great Britain.

MENINGITIS RESEARCH FOUNDATION was incorporated on 6 February 2002 as a private company limited by guarantee with limited exemption, the standard legal structure for charities operating in England and Wales. Registered in Bristol, its primary activity falls under SIC code 86900 (other human health activities), reflecting its mission to fund research and support work related to meningitis and septicaemia.

The charity scores 98 out of 100 (A+) on Saferwager's company trust assessment, driven by its long operating history of over two decades, fully active status at Companies House, a large UK-resident board, and clean financial compliance. As a charitable body exempt from PSC disclosure requirements, it carries a formal statement confirming that no individual or entity holds significant control, which is common and expected for this type of organisation.

MENINGITIS RESEARCH FOUNDATION appears in this database because it holds an active gambling operator licence, granted by the UK Gambling Commission in March 2021. Charities use such licences to run prize draws and charity lotteries as part of their fundraising operations.

Governance

The charity is governed by a board of 11 current directors, the large majority of whom are UK-resident. One director is based in Ireland. As a company limited by guarantee with charitable status, no individual or entity is required to register as a PSC, and a formal exemption statement to that effect has been on record at Companies House since February 2017.
