GamCare is an independent charity that is a leading provider of information, advice and support for anyone harmed by gambling in Great Britain. There are around 400,000 people with gambling problems in Great Britain, and a further 2 million people at risk of gambling harms. Gambling has therefore become increasingly recognised as a Public Health issue and GamCare’s activities and services make a significant contribution to tackling this through education, treatment and support.
