Overview

Gambling Connection: HOSPICE IN THE WEALD holds an active UK Gambling Commission licence, first issued on 17 May 2011, which allows the charity to operate fundraising lottery activities. Its presence in our database is linked to that licensed operator record.

HOSPICE IN THE WEALD is a long-standing charitable organisation incorporated on 4 June 1980, making it one of the older entities in our database with over 45 years of continuous operation. It's registered as a private company limited by guarantee, a structure typical of charities and non-profit bodies, and holds an active company status with Companies House.

The company's primary industry classification is specialist medical practice (SIC 86220), reflecting its core purpose as a hospice care provider rather than a commercial gambling business. Its connection to regulated gambling stems from its charitable fundraising activities, which require a valid UKGC licence. That's a common arrangement for registered charities running lotteries to support their work.

HOSPICE IN THE WEALD scores 100 out of 100, earning an A+ company grade. This reflects its long incorporation history, active status, UK-based board, transparent ownership, and up-to-date Companies House filings.

Governance

HOSPICE IN THE WEALD has a sizeable board of 12 current directors, all of whom are UK-resident. This is consistent with the governance requirements of a larger charitable organisation. The company has one current person with significant control, registered as holding significant influence or control rather than a defined ownership stake, which is standard for guarantee companies.
