GamCare

GamCare is a National Charity for anyone affected by gambling-related harm.

We offer sessions virtually to young people to help them to talk about their gambling or gaming worries in confidence. We can help you to create a plan to reduce or stop gambling/gaming. Your support with us can be flexible and you get to chose how long you carry on accessing support.

All support sessions are virtual. Support can take place on Teams/Zoom calls or telephone. Whatever you prefer.
