Overview

Gambling Connection: WIRRAL HOSPICE ST JOHN'S holds an active UKGC operator licence first granted in 2009, now running for over 17 years. This licence most likely covers society lottery fundraising activities rather than commercial gambling operations.

WIRRAL HOSPICE ST JOHN'S is a private company limited by guarantee, a structure typical of UK charities and not-for-profit organisations. Incorporated on 22 September 1980, it has maintained an active status for over 45 years, placing it among the most long-standing entities in this database. Its primary activity falls under human health services rather than gambling, but it sits in UKGC records as a licensed operator.

The company's A+ trust grade reflects a clean corporate history: no outstanding charges, accounts filed within the last year, and a large board made up entirely of UK-resident directors. That kind of governance stability is rare, and it's reflected in a perfect score across every category Saferwager assesses.

As a charitable hospice, its gambling activity is almost certainly limited to society lotteries used as fundraising tools, a common and UKGC-regulated practice for UK charities. It doesn't operate commercial gambling products.

Governance

WIRRAL HOSPICE ST JOHN'S has a large board of eight current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. This is consistent with a well-governed charitable organisation, where trustee boards typically carry more members than a standard commercial company. A single individual currently holds significant influence or control as recorded at Companies House.
