Free interactive workshops for youth services to educate on gambling harm.
Fast Forward (this link will take you away from our website) and RCA Trust (this link will take you away from our website) have launched a new gambling education programme for young people called ‘The Edge’. Youth services can book 3 free interactive workshops that will raise awareness about gambling harms while upskilling staff in the delivery of gambling education.
The workshops will aim to change unhealthy attitudes towards gambling, reinforce positive choices and raise awareness of where to get help when needed. They will cover the various aspects of gambling, including its convergence with gaming and associated risks, the impact gambling harms can have on family and friends, and more.
Spaces are limited for this unique opportunity and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
To schedule free workshops for your group of young people contact crobb@rcatrust.org.uk
