Overview
Gambling Connection: Oxfam GB holds an active UKGC licence (UKGC-4431), first issued on 30 August 2016, to operate lottery-style fundraising activities in support of its charitable mission.
Oxfam GB is a charitable organisation engaged in international development and poverty relief, with a UKGC licence that allows it to run lottery and prize-draw fundraising activities. The licence has been active for over nine years, reflecting a long-standing and stable relationship with the regulator.

It's a common model among large charities, allowing them to generate income through lotteries without being classified as commercial operators.
