Gambling Education Youth Fund

Gain up to £1000 to create and run your own gambling education and prevention initiative

Fast Forward and the Scottish Gambling Education Hub are delighted to offer a funding programme for groups of young people across Scotland.

The Gambling Education Youth Fund can provide up to £1000 for groups of young people to create and run their very own gambling education and prevention initiative. For example, the money could be used for reasonable expenses used in the course of delivering the project, such as:

Materials or technology needed for the project
Training to learn new skills
Food and refreshments for participants

We are committed to diversity and inclusivity. We welcome applications from groups run by or including LGBTQ+ communities, religious, cultural, or faith-based communities, and people with disabilities.

If you have an idea for a project to increase awareness and understand of gambling-related issues, we want to hear from you!
