GETTING THE HELP YOU NEED.

The Red Card Gambling Support Project not only works to educate communities about problem gambling, but also seeks to support individuals through working with recognised addiction agencies. We work with some of the UK’s leading addiction treatment providers and we are always looking for opportunities to partner with new ones.

Following discussion with you, and where appropriate, we’re happy to assist with referrals to addiction treatment agencies and organisations.
