I think there needs to be more education on the potential dangers of gambling and the programmes that Red Card provide in schools are crucial to teach early what can happen if you develop a problem with gambling. The fact that Tony can use his own experience in these educational workshops is even more effective. It is so important that gambling awareness is promoted amongst young people so they can be aware of the patterns and signs of problem gambling.

This summer The Challenge will have the pleasure of partnering with Tony Kelly on our National Citizens Service Programme. Tony will be introducing a group of young people in Enfield to the world of gambling addiction, encouraging them to think about the issues related to this and setting them a challenge to work on in their teams.
Tony’s openness when sharing his lived experience and knowledge of gambling addiction suggested he would make a great partner for our programme this year. By sharing his own experiences and reaching out to young people Red Card will help us all build a better understanding of gambling addiction and how we can work together to spread awareness of this.
We hope this is the beginning of a larger partnership which allows us to introduce a diverse group of young people to issues surrounding problem gambling.

Associate Programme Manager National Citizens Service Programme.
When I first started as Chief Executive at Gordon Moody Association, I met Tony Kelly at an event along with one of his colleagues and he invited me to meet up to discuss what Red Card do and also to help me better understand gambling addiction and the gambling industry as it was new to me. Fast forward a few months and we had arranged for Tony and a member of his team to attend our residential treatment centre in Beckenham to discuss his story, what Red Card aims are and to discuss working together and creating pathways for referrals into each other’s services.
Our team in Beckenham found Tony to be a very approachable, honest and kind hearted person who himself had been in gambling addiction. Our team and Red Cards were able to discuss the programmes which each party are delivering and understand better the roles that each organisation takes on. Red Card promote much needed awareness and education of gambling addiction.
We thank Red Card for their time and for Tony in sharing his lived experience at the event, and we look forward to continuing our positive working relationship.

Presentations & Workshops
Our tailored workshops and presentations aim to raise awareness of gambling addiction. These are ideal for schools, colleges, universities and young adults in general. Here’s a video showing selections from one of our gambling addiction workshops:

Although the aim of these talks is to act as a deterrent, they are delivered in an upbeat and entertaining style with an emphasis on the help and support available to people who feel that they are in danger of becoming an addict, or that have already developed an addiction.
Continuous Professional Development
Red Card will soon be delivering gambling awareness workshops for professionals and employers. Workplace gambling is on the rise, and our CPD accredited sessions aim to educate both staff and employers.
