Lived Experience Community
The Lived Experience Community is made up of those affected by gambling related harm. They help integrate real experiences into the work of both GamCare and the wider National Gambling Support Network (NGSN).
The community brings together a group of people with lived experience of gambling related harms, either from their own gambling or from someone else’s, to share insights and to help shape our services.
It’s a welcoming, diverse and inclusive space for people who have been supported by different organisations and services across the NGSN. They contribute to our ambition of continually improving how we support people affected by gambling related harms.
The Lived Experience Community actively take part in consultation and co-production across all areas of our work including support services, awareness campaigns and collaboration with other organisations who also work to support people impacted by gambling related harm.
Community members also have the opportunity (if desired) to share their story through online campaigns, in the media or at policy influencing events, where they would be fully supported by an experienced team.
Across the National Gambling Support Network, we strive to ensure that the voice of those with lived experience is at the forefront of everything we do.
