Anyone affected by gambling-related harms aged 18 and over

Description

Our mission is to support those harmed by gambling through advice and treatment, and to minimise gambling-related harm through education and engagement. GamCare also offers the National Gambling Helpline, which operates 24/7 and is free to access to anyone in Great Britain. Our trained Helpline Advisers are available to chat over the phone, via live chat, or through WhatsApp.

We also offer a range of other platforms which can help connect you with peers or tools to support you, such as MyGamCare, our Forum or Group Chatrooms. Our chatroom and forum are open to anyone affected by gambling-related harm, including individuals outside of the UK, providing a safe space for support and connection.

We also offer free, flexible and confidential support and treatment for anyone affected by gambling in parts of Scotland (www.gamcare.org.uk/get-support/find-local-support/scotland/)
