The Fund will support non-clinical gambling-related harm prevention, early-intervention and recovery activities delivered by VCSE organisations in England. This includes work that helps people understand, reduce or avoid gambling-related harm, particularly those at higher risk or who are less likely to access statutory services. Projects may operate at a local, regional or national level, provided they can demonstrate impact, feasibility and value for money. Projects may be directed towards affected others instead of, or in addition to, people who gamble.
This is a £30 million, two-year fund running from April 2026 to March 2028, for the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector only.
The key objectives of the funding are to:
- Sustain and strengthen the VCSE sector to deliver equitable and innovative prevention strategies.
- Build capacity and capability for effective and sustainable project delivery.
- Develop an independent, evidence-based approach to public health policy decision making.
