Overview

Gambling Connection: HOSPISCARE holds an active Gambling Commission licence, first granted on 23 August 2013, which allows it to run fundraising lotteries and raffles in support of its palliative care work in Devon.

HOSPISCARE is a private company limited by guarantee, meaning it has no shareholders and operates on a not-for-profit basis. Incorporated on 15 September 1987, it's one of the longer-standing charitable entities in our database, with nearly four decades of continuous operation from its registered office at Searle House, Exeter.

The company scores 85 out of 100, earning a grade A. Its active status, long incorporation history, and a board of 12 UK-resident directors all contribute to that strong result. The absence of PSC filings is expected for a guaranteed company of this type, as charities with no individual controlling shareholders are often exempt from standard PSC requirements.

It's worth noting HOSPISCARE isn't a commercial gambling operator. It appears in this database solely because it runs charitable lotteries and raffles to fund its hospice services, a common and legitimate fundraising model for UK charities.

Governance

HOSPISCARE is governed by a large board of 14 current directors, all of British nationality and UK-resident, which is typical for a charity of this size and age. There are no PSC records, consistent with its structure as a company limited by guarantee with no share capital or individual controlling shareholders.
