Overview
Operator Type: Charitable society lottery operator
Severn Promotions Co. Limited is the lottery arm of Severn Hospice, a registered charity based in Shrewsbury that provides palliative care across Shropshire and Mid Wales. The company has held a society lottery licence since 2009, making it one of the longer-established charitable lottery operators in the UK, with over 17 years of continuous licensing without interruption.
Its trust score of 71 (Grade B) reflects a clean compliance record and strong licensing longevity, though the corporate score is lower due to limited publicly linked company data. The stability score sits at a perfect 100, earned through an unbroken licence history, no enforcement actions, and over 15 years of clean operation. That's a strong track record for any operator.
Severn Promotions Co. Limited doesn't operate commercial gambling products. It runs a weekly lottery, raffles, and prize draws that raise funds directly for hospice care, and it's wholly controlled by the charitable parent. Proceeds support the Severn Hospice's work caring for people with life-limiting illnesses.
