Gain up to £500 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 across Scotland.

The Gambling Education Fund can provide up to £500 for groups of young people, families and communities 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!
