Overview

Gambling Connection: THE CHRISTIE CHARITY is in our database because a UKGC-licensed operator under the same name holds an active gambling licence, first granted on 17 July 2024. The corporate entity is the registered company behind that licence.

THE CHRISTIE CHARITY is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 3 January 2023 and registered at 550 Wilmslow Road, Manchester. Its SIC code (86900) classifies it under other human health activities, pointing to its charitable healthcare mission rather than a direct commercial gambling operation. Despite that, it appears in our database as the corporate entity behind a UKGC-licensed gambling activity.

The company has earned a company score of 90 (A+), which reflects its active status, fully UK-resident board, clean compliance record, and a formal PSC exemption statement filed from the date of incorporation. That exemption indicates no individual or entity holds significant control, consistent with how many charitable and guarantee companies are structured. It's a pattern that regulators and governance reviewers generally view positively.

With just over two years of corporate history, THE CHRISTIE CHARITY is a relatively young entity. But its governance indicators are strong for its age, with nine current directors all resident in the UK and accounts filed within a reasonable window.

Governance

THE CHRISTIE CHARITY has a board of nine current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. The company filed a PSC exemption statement on incorporation, declaring that no individual or entity holds significant control. That structure is common for charitable guarantee companies and is reflected in a strong ownership score.
