Overview

Gambling Connection: THE CHILDREN'S TRUST holds an active UK Gambling Commission licence to operate society lotteries as a fundraising tool, a common route for registered charities to raise money under regulated conditions. It doesn't run commercial gambling products.

THE CHILDREN'S TRUST is a private company limited by guarantee, the standard legal structure for UK charities. It's been registered at Companies House since 30 September 1983, giving it over four decades of continuous operation. Its Surrey base at Tadworth Court is also its main service site, a residential centre providing rehabilitation and care for children with acquired brain injuries.

The company's SIC codes cover educational support, residential care, and other social care activities, reflecting its charitable mission rather than gambling operations. It isn't classified as gambling-related in our records, but it holds a UKGC licence to run society lotteries, which is how it connects to the regulated gambling sector. That licence has been active since 2009, making it a long-standing presence in the charitable lottery space.

THE CHILDREN'S TRUST scores A+ (100/100) on our company assessment, driven by its active status, 42-year incorporation history, a large board of UK-resident directors, and clean compliance records. As a charity with no individual or entity holding significant control, its PSC position is formally exempt, which is entirely standard for this type of organisation.

Governance

THE CHILDREN'S TRUST has a large board of 10 current directors, all UK-resident, which is typical for a charity of this size and age. There are no persons with significant control listed, and the company has filed a formal PSC exemption statement, which has been in place since October 2016. This is the standard position for charitable companies limited by guarantee.
