Overview

Gambling Connection: HCPT (HOSANNA HOUSE AND CHILDREN'S PILGRIMAGE TRUST) holds a UKGC operator licence first granted in October 2022, almost certainly to run charitable fundraising lotteries or prize draws rather than commercial gambling activities.

HCPT (HOSANNA HOUSE AND CHILDREN'S PILGRIMAGE TRUST) is a private company limited by guarantee, the standard legal structure for charities in England and Wales. It's been registered at Companies House since 8 February 1973, making it one of the longer-standing entities in our database at over 53 years old. Its registered office is in Rugby, and its primary SIC classification covers holiday and short-stay accommodation, reflecting its work running Hosanna House, a residential facility that supports pilgrimages for children and adults with disabilities.

The organisation isn't a commercial gambling operator. Its UKGC licence, first granted in October 2022, is almost certainly held to support small-scale fundraising activities such as lotteries or raffles, which charities commonly use to raise money. That's a typical arrangement for charitable bodies of this kind, and the Gambling Commission requires a licence even for low-stakes fundraising draws. The company's A+ score of 94 reflects the stability that comes with half a century of continuous operation and a fully UK-based governance structure.

As a guarantee company, there are no shareholders and no individual or entity with significant control, which the organisation has formally declared to Companies House. It's run by a volunteer board of directors, all resident in the United Kingdom, which is consistent with how most UK charities of this type are governed.

Governance

The company has 11 current directors, all UK-resident, which is a large volunteer board typical of established charitable organisations. There are no persons with significant control. The organisation holds a formal PSC exemption statement, consistent with the guarantee company structure where no individual owns or controls the entity.
