Response to OHID & NHSE
In light of the new system grant outcomes we have consulted with our community on how it will impact on them. These responses were collated and shared with the relevant agencies 10 April 2026 as a representation of lived experience and the consequences of decisions made.

Response to OHID & NHSE
“This organisation has been eye opening and a life saver for me. I never knew of such an organisation for women. To connect with females experiencing the same difficulties in invaluable. The work they do should be funded and it would be a devastating loss otherwise.”
“These services need to continue as a lot of gambling recovery spaces are male dominated and I know for some of us woman we don’t feel safe in these environments. We wouldn’t be able to talk openly. So to be around woman who 100 percent get it has been vital for myself in finally getting the support I needed.”

Women and Gambling Report

Thanks to a grant from ROSA we have turned this into a report promoting the voices of women and their experiences. We held a webinar to launch this community report on 7 November 2024.
