Overview

Gambling Connection: OXFORD HOSPITALS CHARITY has a pending UK Gambling Commission operator application, which is typical for charities that run fundraising lotteries or prize draws to support their beneficiaries. It isn't a commercial gambling operator.

OXFORD HOSPITALS CHARITY was incorporated on 7 November 2017 as a private company limited by guarantee, the standard legal structure for UK charities operating without share capital. It's registered at the Wood Centre for Innovation in Oxford and classified under SIC code 86900 (other human health activities), reflecting its role as a hospital charity rather than a commercial gambling business.

The charity scores 93 out of 100 (A+) on the Saferwager company rating, driven by its active status, long-standing incorporation, and a board made up entirely of UK-resident directors. With no outstanding charges and a recent confirmation statement, the governance picture is clean. The charity holds a PSC exemption, which is standard for organisations of this type where no single individual or entity holds significant control.

OXFORD HOSPITALS CHARITY doesn't operate gambling services as a core activity. Its connection to the UK Gambling Commission is most likely through charitable fundraising, such as running a lottery or raffle to raise funds for hospital patients and services.

Governance

The board currently has seven directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. The charity filed a PSC exemption statement on incorporation in November 2017, confirming there's no individual or entity with significant control, consistent with its charitable structure.
