Lambeth Community Assembly Panel to Address Gambling Harms

Help Shape a Lambeth Free From Gambling Harm

Gambling and gambling-related harm are having a growing and disproportionate impact on Black and Ethnic communities in Lambeth. As technology advances and access to gambling becomes easier than ever, the risks are increasing — and the need for collective action has never been more urgent.

Black Thrive Lambeth, in partnership with Bet Know More, invites you to be part of a powerful Community Assembly that brings people together to turn knowledge into action.

On 24 January 2026, we will gather at the Karibu Centre of Excellence for a full-day assembly focused on understanding gambling harms, sharing lived and professional insight, and — most importantly — co-creating practical recommendations to reduce harm and influence system change across Lambeth.

This is not a passive event. It is a working space for people who care.

Expect:

• An interactive workshop

• Open, honest discussion

• A shared meal

• A deep dive into how systems can be improved to better protect our communities and the next generation

You do not need to be a gambler to attend. You simply need to be a concerned citizen, professional, or resident who is ready to contribute, challenge, and help shape solutions that matter.

Gambling harm is a looming issue. This mission is urgent. And your voice is needed.
