Overview

Gambling Connection: DERIAN HOUSE CHILDRENS HOSPICE holds a Gambling Commission licence to operate charitable lotteries and raffles, a common fundraising method for UK hospices and charities. The licence doesn't reflect a commercial gambling business but rather a regulated fundraising activity.

DERIAN HOUSE CHILDRENS HOSPICE is a private company limited by guarantee, the legal structure commonly used by UK charities. It's been registered at Companies House since 30 September 1991, giving it over 34 years of continuous operation. The company is based in Chorley, Lancashire, and its SIC code reflects its primary purpose as a health and care provider rather than a commercial gambling business.

With a company score of 100 out of 100 (A+), it ranks among the most well-governed entities in the Saferwager database. That score reflects its active status, long incorporation history, clean compliance record, UK-resident board, and transparent ownership structure. It hasn't accumulated any outstanding charges, and its accounts and confirmation statements are up to date.

The board currently has six directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom, alongside a company secretary. That level of governance is consistent with a well-run charitable organisation of its size and age.

Governance

The board consists of six current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. The company has one current person of significant control, holding the right to appoint and remove directors as a trust. This structure is typical of a charitable organisation governed by a trustee board.
