Overview

Gambling Connection: WIGAN AND LEIGH HOSPICE holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted in January 2009, allowing it to run charitable lotteries and fundraising draws. It's in the Saferwager database as a licensed entity, not as a commercial gambling operator.

WIGAN AND LEIGH HOSPICE is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 10 November 1982 and registered in Wigan. It isn't a commercial gambling business. It's a long-standing charitable organisation that provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care to patients and families across the Wigan and Leigh area.

The company's connection to the gambling regulatory framework comes through its fundraising activities. Charities holding a UKGC licence can run lotteries and similar draws to raise funds, and WIGAN AND LEIGH HOSPICE has maintained that licence since January 2009. With over 43 years of incorporation and an active company status, it carries a company score of 100 (A+), reflecting strong governance, long corporate history, and full UK residency of its directors.

As a company limited by guarantee, there are no shareholders and no individual or entity holds significant control. That structure is standard for charities of this type, and the company's PSC statement confirms it. Its governance sits with a trustee board rather than commercial directors, which is consistent throughout its history on Companies House.

Governance

The company is governed by a trustee board, with 14 current directors all resident in the United Kingdom. There are no persons of significant control, which is standard for a charitable company limited by guarantee. The PSC exemption statement has been on record since April 2017.
