Overview

Gambling Connection: ST. MARGARET'S SOMERSET HOSPICE holds a Gambling Commission licence to run charitable lottery or society draw fundraising activities. This is a common route for UK hospices and charities seeking to raise funds within the regulated gambling framework.

ST. MARGARET'S SOMERSET HOSPICE is a private company limited by guarantee, a structure commonly used by charities and non-profit organisations in the UK. It was incorporated on 7 January 1980 and has operated continuously for over 46 years, making it one of the more long-standing entities in the Gambling Commission's records. Its SIC classification falls under other human health activities, reflecting its core purpose as a hospice care provider rather than a commercial gambling business.

The company holds an A+ score of 100, driven by its active status, age, a large UK-resident board, and a clean compliance record. It has no individual or entity with significant control, which is standard for companies of this type, where governance sits with a board of members rather than shareholders. The board currently has 16 directors, all based in the United Kingdom, which contributes to its strong governance indicators.

Its connection to the Gambling Commission dates to 18 December 2009, when it first received a licence, now running for over 16 years. This is typical of hospices and charities that run society lotteries or prize draws as a fundraising mechanism, operating within the regulatory framework the UKGC sets for such activities.

Governance

The board comprises 16 current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. There's no person with significant control registered, consistent with its structure as a company limited by guarantee where control rests collectively with board members rather than shareholders. The company filed a formal PSC exemption statement in January 2017 confirming this arrangement.
