What we do

Our mission is for every young person in Scotland to have access to gambling education and harm prevention opportunities.

To achieve this, we provide free training, support, and resources to organisations working with children, young people, families, and communities. This includes:

  • Training for your team on how to spot signs of gambling harm
  • Training for the people you support around harm prevention and reduction
  • Our Youth Fund, providing up to £500 for peer gambling education projects
  • Our Gambling Education Toolkit and harm prevention resources
  • The Scottish Gambling Education Network newsletter and events
  • And much more!

We advocate a public health approach to gambling harm prevention, and education is only one piece of that puzzle. That’s why we’re so passionate about the importance of working in partnership and collaboration to create change.
