Privacy Statement
The Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (The ALLIANCE) is running a series of engagement activities aimed at people who have experienced gambling harm living in the Greater Glasgow area. The ALLIANCE wants to better understand people’s experiences of gambling harm in the Greater Glasgow area and your responses will be used to shape actions to reduce gambling harm in the city.
The engagement work will inform the work of a 3-year project funded by the UK Gambling Commission as part of the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms in Scotland. Led by Public Health Scotland, the project will bring together experts by experience with experts in practice, policy and research to understand how people and communities experience harm through gambling and decide on the collective actions that should be taken in Glasgow to prevent these. The local approach will be the first of its kind in Scotland. The lessons learned from what works in Glasgow will shape future work across Scotland and the UK.
How you can get involved?
If you are a resident of the Greater Glasgow area or have a connection to Greater Glasgow (e.g. recently lived there or would usually commute in for work) you can respond to the survey for individuals to share their experiences, opinions and ideas on this issue.
