Overview

Gambling Connection: WORCESTERSHIRE HOSPICES LOTTERY LIMITED holds an active UKGC licence and has done so since 30 April 2012. It runs a lottery specifically to raise funds for hospice charities in Worcestershire, making it a charity-sector gambling operator rather than a commercial one.

WORCESTERSHIRE HOSPICES LOTTERY LIMITED was incorporated on 21 December 1998 and has operated as a licensed lottery company for over two decades. Registered at Primrose Hospice in Bromsgrove, the company runs a fundraising lottery on behalf of hospice charities in Worcestershire, classifying it under SIC code 92000 for gambling and betting activities.

It's an active company with a company score of 97 (A+), reflecting its long incorporation history, clean compliance record, and fully UK-based governance. With five current directors and three corporate shareholders each holding between 25 and 50 per cent, the ownership structure directly mirrors the hospice charities it supports.

The company hasn't had any enforcement action recorded against it, and its financial filings are current. That clean track record, combined with more than 27 years of continuous operation, puts WORCESTERSHIRE HOSPICES LOTTERY LIMITED among the most stable charitable lottery operators in the UKGC's register.

Governance

The board currently has five directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. Ownership is held by three corporate PSCs, each controlling between 25 and 50 per cent of shares and voting rights. Those PSCs are themselves hospice charities, which means the governance structure is directly accountable to the charitable beneficiaries.
