Overview

Gambling Connection: ST WILFRID'S HOSPICE (EASTBOURNE) holds a UK Gambling Commission operator licence, first granted in April 2021, to run a lottery as part of its charitable fundraising. It's a non-commercial operator using gambling to raise money for hospice care services.

ST WILFRID'S HOSPICE (EASTBOURNE) is a private company limited by guarantee, the standard legal structure for charities in England and Wales. It's been registered at Companies House since 29 October 1981, giving it over four decades of continuous operation. Its SIC code falls under other human health activities, reflecting its core role as a hospice rather than a commercial gambling business.

The company holds an A+ company score of 100, the highest possible rating. That's driven by its long-standing active status, a large board of UK-resident volunteer directors, clean accounts filings, and a PSC exemption that's appropriate for a charitable entity of this type. There are no concerns in its corporate record.

As a company limited by guarantee with no share capital, there are no shareholders or profit distributions. The hospice is governed by its board of trustees, and its PSC filing confirms no individual or entity holds significant control, which is standard for charities operating under this structure.

Governance

The company has a large volunteer board with ten current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. This is typical for a charitable hospice governed by trustees. A PSC exemption statement has been in place since May 2017, confirming no individual or entity holds significant control, which is consistent with its charitable status.
