Overview

Gambling Connection: ST. GEMMA'S HOSPICE holds an active UKGC operating licence, first granted on 2 December 2016, used to run charitable lotteries as a fundraising activity rather than a commercial gambling operation.

ST. GEMMA'S HOSPICE was incorporated on 15 December 1992 as a private company limited by guarantee, the standard legal structure for UK charities. Based at 329 Harrogate Road in Leeds, it operates under SIC code 86101 (hospital activities) and isn't classified as a gambling business. Its company score of 97 (A+) reflects over three decades of continuous active status, strong UK governance, and a well-established board.

The organisation's board is large and diverse, drawing on medical, pastoral, and lay professionals. All current directors are UK-resident, which contributes to its high governance rating. The company has maintained clean corporate records throughout its 33-year history, with no outstanding charges and confirmation statements filed on time.

ST. GEMMA'S HOSPICE doesn't operate as a commercial gambling business. Its lottery licence is a common fundraising tool among UK charities, allowing it to run prize draws to support palliative care services in the Leeds area.

Governance

The company has a large board of 16 current directors, all of whom are UK-resident. Corporate significant influence or control is held by Sisters Of The Cross And Passion, a religious congregation. The board includes a mix of medical professionals, lay trustees, and religious community members.
