Overview

Gambling Connection: NORTH EAST HOSPICES LOTTERY LIMITED held a UKGC gambling operator licence from March 2024 until it was surrendered, authorising it to run lottery draws. It's in our database as a direct licence holder under SIC code 92000.

NORTH EAST HOSPICES LOTTERY LIMITED was incorporated on 3 April 1998 as a private limited company running lottery activities classified under SIC code 92000 (gambling and betting). It operated a charity lottery intended to raise funds for hospice services across the North East of England, a model common among healthcare charities that use lottery income to supplement fundraising.

The company is currently in liquidation, which means it's being formally wound up. Its registered office has moved to Leonard Curtis House in Greater Manchester, an address associated with insolvency practitioners, and no accounts have been filed for nearly two years. That accounts gap, combined with the liquidation status, pulls the company's overall score to a grade C (68/100), with the status component scoring zero.

Despite a long corporate history spanning almost three decades, the company's gambling licence was only obtained in March 2024 and was surrendered shortly after. Consumers and charities that had dealings with this lottery should be aware that it's no longer operational.

Governance

The company has six current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. There's no registered person with significant control. A PSC exemption statement filed in April 2017 declares that no individual or entity holds significant control, which is typical for charity-linked entities governed by a member or trustee board rather than shareholders.
