Overview
Gambling Connection: MOORFIELDS EYE CHARITY holds an active Gambling Commission licence, used to run charitable lotteries as a fundraising method. It isn't a commercial gambling operator.
MOORFIELDS EYE CHARITY is a private company limited by guarantee with charitable status, incorporated on 25 February 2011. It's classified under SIC code 86900 (other human health activities) and isn't a gambling business in any commercial sense. Its connection to the gambling regulatory framework comes through its use of licensed society lotteries to raise funds.
The charity has been UKGC-licensed since September 2015, giving it over a decade of continuous licensing. That track record, combined with its active Companies House status and a board composed entirely of UK-resident trustees, contributes to a company score of 96 (A+). That's a strong result reflecting long-standing incorporation, clean compliance history, and full UK governance.
As a charitable entity, it operates under the "no-individual-or-entity-with-significant-control" PSC exemption, which is standard for organisations of this type. There are no shareholders and no commercial ownership structure. Control sits with the board of trustees.
Governance
The charity has 12 current directors, all UK-resident, drawn from medical, professional, and charitable backgrounds. There are no PSCs. The company operates under an exemption statement confirming no individual or entity holds significant control, as is standard for charities structured as companies limited by guarantee.
