About the programme

Gambling-related harm is a growing public health issue across North Central London, affecting individuals, families and communities.

The programme focuses on building a coordinated, system-wide response by:

  • Improving early identification and screening
  • Strengthening referral pathways and access to support
  • Developing shared tools and resources
  • Increasing awareness of gambling-related harm
  • Supporting prevention and early intervention

It prioritises work with communities at higher risk, including people experiencing poor mental health, unemployment, homelessness, deprivation, substance use, and those from Black, Asian, Mixed and other minority ethnic communities.

Why this work matters

Gambling-related harm is a significant and growing public health issue across the UK. It can have serious impacts on mental health, relationships and financial stability, and its effects are often felt beyond the individual.

People experiencing gambling harms are at increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviours, highlighting the importance of early identification, prevention and access to support.
