What is gambling-related harm? 

Gambling-related harm can affect anyone. It can have an impact on a person’s: 

  • Mental and physical health
  • Relationships and family life
  • Finances
  • Employment
  • Overall wellbeing

The effects are not limited to the person who gambles. Family members, friends and the wider community can also be affected. 

About the network 

The Gambling Harms Recovery Network is working with local communities to: 

  • understand people’s experiences of gambling-related harm 
  • identify gaps and barriers to accessing support 
  • raise awareness of the help available 
  • strengthen referral pathways 
  • shape and develop accessible, person-centred and stigma-free support and services 
  • help prevent harm through earlier identification and intervention 
  • ensure the voices of people, families and communities are central to this work 

The network aims to ensure that people with lived and living experience help shape future support and services.
