Hi all,
Â
As this week is Volunteers’ Week 2024, we wanted to take a moment to recognise our fantastic volunteer Online Peer Supporters. Their commitment and passion for helping others is what makes our service possible, and they have brought so much to GamCare in a short space of time. We deeply appreciate the time they so kindly give each week to share their experiences and walk alongside others in their recovery journeys. Thank you so much to the volunteers, we could not do it without you!

Good evening
Thank you for your lovely words of appreciation of our dedication and work as volunteers.
I have to say that a number of us have lots of experience of receiving Gamcare help in the past. Gamcare has developed so widely in the last number of years. The frontline advisers are there 24/7 to listen with a non judgemental ear and I personally give thanks to having received that help for both my son and myself over 9 years. Hence my urge to give back.
As volunteers we are privileged in my view to help the journey towards a world without gambling harm. Help and encourage people to feel free and empowered to reach out and talk publicly about harm and how we can work towards reducing harm and the stigma attached to it.
We are all part of this amazing community and i can say so very happy to be part of it.Â
Where there is help, there is hope.Â
Best wishesÂ
Patsy
