Overview

Gambling Connection: BUTTERWICK LOTTERIES LIMITED holds an active UKGC gambling licence, first issued on 8 December 2009, to run lottery operations. It's the licensed lottery arm of a hospice charity rather than a commercial gambling operator.

BUTTERWICK LOTTERIES LIMITED was incorporated on 22 December 1995 as a private limited company registered to Butterwick Hospice in Stockton On Tees. Its SIC code 92000 classifies it directly under gambling and betting activities, and it operates as the fundraising lottery vehicle for the hospice it's tied to. With over 30 years of corporate history, it's a well-established entity with strong governance indicators.

The company holds an A grade on Saferwager's company score, reflecting its active status, long incorporation history, UK-based leadership, and transparent ownership structure. It doesn't operate as a commercial gambling business in the traditional sense. Its lottery activities are tied to charitable fundraising for its parent hospice.

There's no enforcement history on record, and its accounts and confirmation statements are up to date. That clean compliance picture, combined with its longevity and charitable purpose, puts BUTTERWICK LOTTERIES LIMITED among the more straightforward entries in the UKGC-licensed company dataset.

Governance

The company has two current directors and one company secretary, all UK residents. Ownership sits with a corporate PSC, Butterwick Limited, which holds 75 to 100% of shares. That structure is consistent with a charity-controlled subsidiary where the parent organisation maintains full oversight.
