Overview
Operator Type: Charitable society lottery operator
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance is a licensed society lottery operator running a fundraising lottery to support its air ambulance charity across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It's incorporated as a company limited by guarantee with no share capital, the standard legal structure for a charity, and has been operating since 2004. Its UKGC gambling licence covers the lottery arm specifically, which trades as the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Lottery.
The charity received its society lottery licence in May 2021 and has held it continuously without interruption since. Its stability score is a perfect 100, reflecting a clean regulatory record with no warnings, suspensions, or revocations in its licensing history. Its domestic score also sits at 100, with all 11 directors based in the United Kingdom and no offshore involvement of any kind.
The trust score of 68 reflects the relatively short licensing history rather than any compliance concerns. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance doesn't operate consumer gambling websites, so its profile lacks the technical and transparency scores that online operators can earn. The charitable purpose and clean record are the defining features here.
