Working Together to Address Gambling HarmAbout this Event
Professionals across Scotland are increasingly encountering gambling harm within their work, often alongside mental health challenges, financial hardship, family stress, and wider inequalities.
The Community Gambling Support Roundtable is hosted by RCA Trust in partnership with Fast Forward, Simon Community Scotland, Cyrenians, GamCare Scotland and John Hartson Recovery Workshop.
This event aims to bring together professionals from health, local authorities, third sector, community services, and related sectors to explore how we can better support people and communities affected by gambling harm through collaborative, community-based approaches.
This roundtable is designed to be accessible and informative, particularly for professionals who may not have previously worked directly with gambling harms but recognise its growing impact within their communities.
