Overview

Gambling Connection: HOSPICE OF ST. MARY OF FURNESS appears in this database because it holds an active UKGC gambling licence, first granted on 30 April 2010. Charities commonly obtain such licences to run fundraising lotteries or prize competitions, which are a permitted activity under the Gambling Act 2005.

HOSPICE OF ST. MARY OF FURNESS is a private limited company by guarantee with no share capital, the standard legal structure for UK charities and not-for-profit organisations. It's been active since 2 May 1986, giving it nearly four decades of continuous operation. That longevity contributes directly to its A+ company score of 100, reflecting strong governance, active status, and a board composed entirely of UK-resident directors.

Its SIC code, 86900, covers other human health activities, confirming this is a healthcare charity rather than a commercial gambling business. The company is based at St. Marys Hospice in Ulverston, Cumbria. It isn't flagged as gambling-related in the strictest sense, but it does hold a UKGC licence, which is common for charities that run small-scale fundraising lotteries.

The company's PSC register carries a statutory statement confirming there's no individual or entity with significant control. That's expected for a charity structured as a guarantee company, where members don't hold shares and no single person controls the organisation outright.

Governance

The company has nine current directors, all resident in the United Kingdom. The board has seen regular turnover consistent with voluntary charity governance, with multiple appointments and resignations over the years. There are no current PSCs; a statutory statement on record confirms no individual or entity holds significant control, which is standard for guarantee companies of this type.
