Overview

Gambling Connection: WELSH AIR AMBULANCE CHARITABLE TRUST holds an active Gambling Commission licence, first granted in November 2010, allowing it to run society lotteries as a fundraising mechanism for the Welsh Air Ambulance service.

WELSH AIR AMBULANCE CHARITABLE TRUST is a registered charity set up as a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 19 July 2000. Based in Dafen, Llanelli, the trust exists to support the Welsh Air Ambulance service and funds its work partly through licensed lottery activity. It's one of Wales's most established charitable operations, with a corporate history stretching back over a quarter of a century.

The trust has held a Gambling Commission licence since November 2010, giving it over 15 years of continuous licensed status. That track record contributes directly to its company score of 90 (A+), one of the higher scores in our database, reflecting its active status, long incorporation history, and UK-based governance. There's no enforcement history against the trust.

As a charitable trust, it doesn't operate with traditional shareholders. A current PSC exemption statement confirms there's no individual or entity with significant control, which is standard for organisations of this type operating under charity law.

Governance

The trust has a large board with over 16 current directors, which is typical for a charitable organisation of this scale. All current directors are UK-resident. A PSC exemption statement has been active since July 2020, confirming there's no individual or entity with significant control, consistent with its charitable structure.
