What
The Young People’s Service (YPS) is a dedicated team that helps young people between the ages of 11-18 who are experiencing harm because of gambling or gaming. The team can help if you are struggling with gambling/gaming yourself or if you are affected by someone else’s gambling/gaming. The Young People’s Service can also provide information and advice to parents and professionals.
Young people, parents/carers and professionals supporting young people can find information, advice and support through
the National Gambling Helpline on Freephone 0808 80 20 133 (24 hours a day) and on Big Deal. Professionals can access advice and guidance from the YPS by email (youngpeopleservice@gamcare.org.uk). Parents can access advice and guidance, or support from the YPS
in relation to the relationship with their child/dependent where anyone in the family are experiencing gambling related
harms. Young people and concerned adults (with the YP’s consent) can also contact the team via our online form.
