Overview

Gambling Connection: THE HEALTH LOTTERY DONATIONS CIC holds an active UKGC gambling operating licence, first issued on 10 December 2024, making it a directly licensed operator within the UK's regulated gambling framework.

THE HEALTH LOTTERY DONATIONS CIC is a Community Interest Company, a corporate form designed to deliver benefits to the wider community rather than private shareholders. Incorporated in May 2024, it's a recently formed entity with a short but clean corporate history, which its company score of 85 (Grade A) reflects. The active status and transparent UK-registered ownership structure are the main drivers of that score.

The company is classified under SIC code 86900 (other human health activities), which fits with the CIC model of directing proceeds towards health-related community causes. Its registered office is in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and its governance is straightforward, with two UK-resident individuals holding all significant control. There's no offshore structure and no outstanding charges on record.

Despite its youth, the company secured a UKGC gambling operating licence in December 2024, bringing it into the regulated gambling sector within its first year of operation. That's an unusually fast path to licensing for a new entity, though it's consistent with the Health Lottery brand's longer history in the UK market.

Governance

The company has two current directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom, with one also serving as company secretary. Ownership is split between the same two individuals, each holding between 25% and 50% of voting rights. It's a compact, two-person structure with no corporate or offshore persons with significant control.
