Gambling addiction support
We no longer provide direct support for gambling-related harms.
However, we’re still here to help you find the right support.
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, we can refer you to Beacon Counselling Trust, a specialist organisation offering free, confidential help across the North West.
