Improving Outcomes Fund for women and minority communities affected by gambling harm

Tender description

This funding programme is a response to research published by GambleAware in 2023, demonstrating that people from particular groups in society face additional burdens of gambling harm, as well as barriers in accessing services which meet their needs. This fund aims to drive change within the sector by investing in activities which respond to the research recommendations. The overall ambition is to reduce the inequalities which exist relating to gambling harm for women and people from minority religious and ethnic minority communities. This project is funded by the Regulatory Settlement allocated to GambleAware by The Gambling Commission1 in accordance with their Statement of Principles for determining financial penalties. In keeping with the principles, funding from regulatory settlements to GambleAware will be used for specific, agreed purposes that accelerate our commissioning plans, including encouraging innovative practices. Please see attached the Application overview and guidance for more information.
