Overview

Gambling Connection: THAMES VALLEY AIR AMBULANCE holds a UKGC operating licence through its linked operator entity, used to run a fundraising lottery in support of its charitable air ambulance services. It has been licensed since July 2009.

THAMES VALLEY AIR AMBULANCE was incorporated on 24 August 2000 as a private limited company by guarantee without share capital, the standard legal structure for charities in the UK. It isn't a commercial gambling business. Its connection to the gambling industry comes entirely from running a fundraising lottery to support its air ambulance operations.

The company has been operating for over 25 years and carries a company score of 100 (A+), reflecting its long-standing active status, a large board of UK-resident directors, and a clear PSC exemption statement consistent with charitable governance. There are no outstanding charges and its accounts and confirmation statements are filed regularly with Companies House.

It's worth noting that THAMES VALLEY AIR AMBULANCE isn't flagged as gambling-related in our database. Its SIC code, 86900, covers other human health activities, which reflects its core charitable purpose. The UKGC licence is a secondary function used solely for fundraising.

Governance

The board currently has nine directors, all UK-resident British nationals, which is consistent with a well-governed charity. The company carries a PSC exemption statement dating from August 2016, declaring that no individual or entity holds significant control, as expected for a charitable organisation of this type.
