Key points:
- The number of providers in the network increases to 13
- The charities offer varying support to help those impacted by gambling harm
The National Gambling Support Network, a group of organisations that provide treatment, advice and support on a range of gambling related issues, has increased the support it offers.
With the help of two charities, namely Epic Restart Foundation and Reframe Coaching, the National Gambling Support Network will aim to reach more people affected by gambling harm.
Epic Restart Foundation’s programmes are run by people with lived experience of gambling harm who look to support those currently affected to rebuild their lives.
Reframe Coaching helps those impacted by gambling by offering remote recovery coaching services so they can better understand their circumstances and how they can then achieve personal goals.
With this latest support added, the network now consists of 13 providers who can offer support to those that need it most.
Good to know: The National Gambling Support Network was launched by GambleAware in April 2023
GambleAware Deputy CEO and Chief Commissioning & Strategy Officer Anna Hargrave said: “The GambleAware commissioned National Gambling Support Network continues to be a staple within local communities across the country and is recognised for the vital support it offers to those affected by gambling harms across Great Britain.
“It has always been the intention for the NGSN to expand and build on the services it offers since it was commissioned almost two years ago, and Epic Restart Foundation and Reframe Coaching continue that expansion and add valuable experience and expertise to the network.
“Gambling harms can affect anyone, and it is vital that there is a service for everyone that needs support, regardless of whether they are at the start, or nearing the end, of their journey to recovery.”
