GambleAware increases GamCare funding commitment

GambleAware has agreed to a new GBP 14 million, 3-year funding programme with GamCare for the funding of the UK’s National Gambling Helpline and a national network of treatment services for adults experiencing gambling-related problems.

The agreement represents a 20 percent increase in annual funding and will enable GamCare to continue developing its delivery capabilities, efficiency and effectiveness of treatment across a broad range of interventions.

The substantial increase in funding for GamCare signals GambleAware’s determination to increase capacity in the treatment sector and to provide the resources to drive up standards, a press statement reads.

In addition, GambleAware said it intends to commission new aftercare services to prevent relapse, as well as services that offer help for the families of problem gamblers, including bereavement counselling.
