Hi all

I’m the Lived Experience Manager at GamCare (I have my own experiences of gambling harm and recovery) – nice to meet you! 

I’m looking to put together a small working group of people from our forum to get involved in a few projects I’m working on that will help shape the future as we continue to develop our online services.  It will involve a few online meetings (usually via Zoom) dates are yet to be confirmed but they will be scheduled well in advance, you will be compensated for your time and you can have a genuine say in shaping the future of GamCare!

I’ll be joining the both the lunchtime and the evening group chat sessions on Thursday (22nd September) to talk about this more, so feel free to come along to either of those or drop me an email (@gamcare.org.uk">colin.walsh@gamcare.org.uk) for more information!

Many thanks!

Colin

Is this available to everyone? I'm just restarting my recovery from square one so would love to take part in something like this

Thanks for taking the time to reply @elliejay - I think it's really important to hear the voices and feedback from people at different stages of our journey.

 

I would need to speak with you first to be sure that any project you're involved with doesn't risk harming your recovery - Feel free to email me (colin.walsh@gamcare.org.uk) and we can get a call booked in!
