The National Gambling Helpline is available and operating as usual, providing 24/7 support over the phone and on live chat. To help make everyone aware of the potential impact of gambling on health and wellbeing during Covid-19, we have provided a short document with information and resources which can accessed for free here.

If you are looking for help, advice or support in relation to your gambling, please go to: BeGambleAware.org or contact the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.

GambleAware is an independent grant-making charity using best-practice in commissioning, including needs assessment, service planning, evaluation and outcome reporting to support effective, evidence-informed, quality assured prevention of gambling harms. Guided by a wholly independent expert board of trustees, the majority of whom work in the health sector, GambleAware has an established range of governance processes and procedures that ensures the industry has no influence over any commissioning decisions.

Guided by a public health model, we commission integrated prevention services on a national scale and in partnership with expert organisations and agencies, including the NHS, across three areas of activity:

• Commissioning the National Gambling Treatment Service
• Public health campaigns & practical support to local services
• Commissioning research & evaluation to improve knowledge of what works in prevention
