GamCare: Christmas Gambling Harms Awareness
Would you know how to spot the signs of gambling harm and where to get support this Christmas? GamCare can help with some practical steps.
The festive period can be a difficult time for people affected by gambling harms.
For many, Christmas can expose financial issues, social isolation and mental health difficulties that often surround or worsen gambling harms. An early December payday can also add extra temptation to gamble, alongside the influence of alcohol, changes in routine and high-profile sporting events. Altogether, the holiday season can bring about increased risk for people struggling with their gambling.
Whatever it is, GamCare is here to help. We support anyone who has an issue with their gambling or someone else’s. We're available 24/7, we operate the free National Gambling Helpline, and provide treatment in all regions across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Our trained Advisers will help you find the right kind of support – whether it’s free tools to block gambling sites; forums and groups where you can get support from people in the same situation; or free confidential treatment in your area or residential treatment.
The National Gambling Helpline offers 24/7 free confidential support all year on Freephone 0808 80 20 133, via Whatsapp on 020 3031 8881, or via online chat at gamcare.org.uk.
