Preventing Gambling Harms in Diverse Communities

For Faith and Community Leaders

Our Free 2.5 hours City & Guilds assured training is for faith and community leaders who work with young people from ethnic minority populations. The programme content centres on an understanding of socio-cultural and religious contexts on shame and stigma relating to gambling harms and, on completion of the workshop, delegates will receive access to our complimentary and downloadable resources. 

Delegates will also be provided with continued support to implement resources from our Training and Engagement Managers and have access to Ygam Alumni, featuring additional sessions on topics such as cryptocurrency, microtransactions and more. 

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

This UK wide programme aims to raise awareness and address the issue of gambling harm disproportionately affecting people from ethnic minority populations. Workshops are provided to faith and community groups where the content explores gaming and gambling harm amongst minority communities centring on socio-cultural and religious contexts of shame and stigma relating to gambling harms. The workshops aim to empower delegates with the knowledge and skills to deliver their own sessions to young people whilst helping delegates to spot the signs of harm and provide signposting to safeguard young people.
