Overview

Operator Type: Charitable society lottery operator

Fauna & Flora International is a UK-based conservation charity that held a society lottery licence from the UK Gambling Commission between July 2020 and August 2024. The licence was surrendered before its expiry date, meaning the charity no longer holds any UKGC authorisation and can't legally run lottery activities under this registration. Consumers shouldn't treat this as an active gambling operator.

Its trust score of 54 out of 100 (Grade D) reflects the surrendered licence status, which pulls the licensing component sharply down. The corporate and stability components tell a different story: no enforcement actions were ever recorded, the company has been active since 1992, and the majority of its directors are UK-based. The low overall grade is a direct consequence of the surrendered status, not a history of regulatory failures.

Fauna & Flora International operates as a private company limited by guarantee with no share capital, incorporated in Cambridge. Its work is focused on biodiversity conservation rather than gambling, and the society lottery was one fundraising mechanism the charity chose to discontinue.
