Overview
Gambling Connection: BURY HOSPICE TRADING LIMITED held a UKGC gambling operator licence from 2010 until its surrender, running charitable lotteries to raise funds for Bury Hospice. It's in the Saferwager database as a former licensed gambling operator under UK Gambling Commission regulation.
BURY HOSPICE TRADING LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 3 February 1993, giving it more than three decades of corporate history. It operates as the trading subsidiary of Bury Hospice, the charitable organisation providing palliative care to patients in the Bury area. Its SIC code of 92000 places it squarely in gambling and betting activities, reflecting its history of running fundraising lotteries on behalf of the parent charity.
With a company score of 97 (A+), BURY HOSPICE TRADING LIMITED ranks among the best-governed entities in the Saferwager database. Its active status, long incorporation history, UK-based board, and clear corporate ownership all contribute to a strong governance profile. The company hasn't accumulated any outstanding charges, and its confirmation statements are up to date.
The company's UKGC operator licence has since been surrendered, meaning it no longer runs regulated gambling activities. That's typical for charitable lottery operators that wind down fundraising programmes or transfer activities to a third-party lottery manager.
Governance
The company has two current UK-resident directors and one current secretary on the board. Ownership is clear: Bury Hospice holds between 75% and 100% of shares, making this a wholly-owned charitable subsidiary with no offshore or individual controlling interests.
