Aims/priorities: This funding programme is a response to research published by GambleAware in 2023, demonstrating that people from particular groups in society face additional burdens of gambling harm, as well as barriers in accessing services which meet their needs. This fund aims to drive change within the sector by investing in activities which respond to the research recommendations. The overall ambition is to reduce the inequalities which exist within gambling harm for women and people from minority religious and ethnic communities.
Who can apply? Registered charities and not for profit organisations can apply.
Other types of organisations will be considered so long as their governing documents clearly outline the organisation’s social purpose, demonstrate that profits are used for this purpose and that an asset lock is in place.
GambleAware is looking to fund a range of organisations including current National Gambling Support Network (NGSN) providers, other current funded partners and organisations new to GambleAware.
Partnership applications are encouraged. Where an organisation does not have experience within gambling harms, they are encouraged to reach out to one of the NGSN partners, or alternatively contact the GambleAware team for support.
Grant amount: There is a total funding pot of £4.3 million.
Two levels of funding are available:
- Level 1: £150,000 for up to two years for smaller/ emergent organisations with less of a track record within the gambling harms sector.
- Level 2: £300,000 for up to two years for larger organisations or more established projects.
Application process: Guidance and the application form can be found on the GambleAware website.
There will be a Fund Q&A on Tuesday 9 January 2024 (16:00 to 17:00). Registration is required.
Deadline: Wednesday 31 January 2024, 5pm.
