GambleAware enhances support service and increases funding to promote social responsibility

The National Gambling Support Network (NGSN) is a revamped network that aims to provide support and resources for individuals affected by gambling harms. GambleAware, the country’s leading commissioner in this sector, has renamed the service to NGSN to highlight its focus on helping those in need. The NGSN offers enhanced referral routes and emphasizes early intervention to address gambling-related issues. Furthermore, GambleAware will adopt a regional-first approach to treatment provision, fostering collaboration with local services, government agencies, and even the criminal justice sector to better assist individuals experiencing harm from gambling. GambleAware has also pledged increased investment for those affected by gambling harm, showcasing their commitment to social responsibility. In their pursuit of knowledge and progress, GambleAware has awarded a £350,000 grant to facilitate research on gambling stigmatisation.
