Overview

Gambling Connection: ST. CHRISTOPHERS HOSPICE is linked to a UKGC-licensed operator, almost certainly running a charity lottery or raffle to raise funds. This is a standard fundraising method for UK hospices and is regulated directly by the Gambling Commission.

ST. CHRISTOPHERS HOSPICE is a private company limited by guarantee, a legal structure typical of UK charities, and has been active since 27 January 1961. That's over 65 years of continuous operation, which places it among the longest-standing incorporated organisations in its sector. Its registered office is in south-east London at Lawrie Park Road, SE26.

The company scores 100 out of 100, earning an A+ grade. That reflects its active status, clean compliance record, long incorporation history, and a full board of UK-resident directors. It's the kind of corporate profile that indicates a well-run, stable organisation with no red flags in its Companies House record.

Its primary industry classification is hospital activities, not gambling. But it appears in Saferwager's database because a connected entity holds a UKGC licence, most likely to run a charity lottery or prize draw as a fundraising tool. That's a common and fully regulated route for hospices and similar charitable organisations.

Governance

The company has a large board of 16 current directors, all UK-resident, which is typical of a charitable trust with committee governance. There are no persons with significant control registered. Instead, the company filed a PSC exemption statement in November 2016, which is standard for charities structured as companies limited by guarantee with no shareholders.
