Overview

Gambling Connection: SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE holds a UKGC gambling operating licence, used to run charitable lottery and gaming activities as a fundraising mechanism to support its hospice services. It's been continuously licensed since 2009.

SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE is a private company limited by guarantee, a structure common among UK charities and non-profit organisations. It's been incorporated since 11 May 1978, giving it nearly five decades of continuous operation, and its company status is active. The company holds a company score of 100 (A+), reflecting a well-established entity with strong governance, a clean compliance record, and a fully UK-based board.

The hospice isn't a gambling business in the commercial sense. Its connection to the sector comes through its fundraising activities, where a UKGC licence allows it to operate lotteries and gaming products to generate charitable income. This is a common arrangement among established hospices and charities across the UK, and it's been continuously licensed since 2009. The organisation's primary activities remain palliative and end-of-life care, coded under healthcare SIC classifications rather than gambling.

With ten current directors, all resident in the United Kingdom, SAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE has a governance structure consistent with a well-run charitable body. The company operates without individual or entity persons with significant control, as declared in its PSC exemption statement, which is standard for companies limited by guarantee with no share capital.

Governance

The company has a board of ten current directors, all UK-resident British nationals, which is a strong governance indicator for an organisation of its type. There are no persons with significant control on record; the company has filed a PSC exemption statement confirming no individual or entity holds significant control, consistent with its structure as a company limited by guarantee.
