GambleAware reports increase in people accessing National Gambling Support Network

GambleAware has reported an increase in people accessing the National Gambling Support Network (NGSN), with a more than 10% rise also being recorded in the number of people receiving treatment for gambling harm compared to the previous year.

In response to the annual report, the gambling support charity’s Chief Commissioning and Strategy Officer, Anna Hargrave, noted that part of the reason why there is an increase in people receiving support and treatment is that the service has “been able to identify and support people at a much earlier stage”.

The Annual Statistics for the National Gambling Support Network report covered the period of 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024 and showed the number of people who received treatment and support from the NGSN.

The report also provided insight into the characteristics of people who received treatment and support, the details of treatment outcomes, as well as the trends in treatment and support over the past nine years.
