Red Card has partnered with Enfield Youth.
Red Card will be delivering educational gambling awareness workshops to young people within the borough of Enfield from February 2022.
17th January 2022
About the project
Funded from 2022 to 2025, this lottery-funded project is designed to educate young people about problem gambling, gambling-related harms, and sources of support.
Our funding also covers delivery to local authorities, ensuring that front line staff get an opportunity to gain more knowledge and understanding around gambling related harms.
The funding covers:
local authorities
youth clubs
youth charities
youth hubs
colleges
universities
parents
carers
community charities
sports clubs
Why young people need this project
If you work with groups of young people in the UK, the chances are that some of them are already struggling with problem gambling. Research suggests, for example, that one in six students have a problem with gambling.
Other statistics for students and young people make similar grim reading. And experts are concerned that the true scale of the gambling industry’s impact is hidden.
Although problem gambling affects all ages across society, young people are among the most vulnerable. Red Card’s work is dedicated to educating young people in a way that they find engaging and relevant.
We have successfully delivered our talks and workshops to many schools and other organisations, and we would love to work with you too. Please contact us to arrange a visit or to discuss our project further.
School & youth workshops
All schools , charities and other youth projects can take part in a Red Card workshop. Please note that school workshops are not free – unfortunately, lottery funding does not extend to cover our costs.
Please contact us for more information.
