Overview
Operator Type: Charitable society lottery operator
Accord Hospice is a Paisley-based charity that runs a licensed society lottery to raise funds for its palliative care services. It's been registered with the UKGC since 18 June 2014, giving it over 11 years of continuous licensing under the trading name the Accord Hospice Lottery. That unbroken record contributes directly to its stability score of 100 and a trust grade of B.
The organisation doesn't operate as a commercial gambling business. Its lottery exists solely to support the hospice's charitable work, which puts it in a different category from consumer-facing betting or casino operators. There are no associated websites, no online gambling products, and no enforcement history on record with the UKGC.
Accord Hospice is incorporated in Scotland as a company limited by guarantee, a structure common among charities. All eight current directors are UK-based, and the organisation is fully independent with no parent company or offshore involvement.
