Health and Social Care Alliance - Gambling Harm and Mental Health Fund

Details

The Gambling Harm and Mental Health Fund exists to support community-based activity to further work on mental health and gambling harms, including a focus on suicide.

The main purpose of this fund is to understand the impact of Gambling Harms on specific disadvantaged, marginalised, and minoritised communities and how this intersects with wider social, economic, and environmental factors.

The fund will be administered by the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE) on behalf of the Scottish Government. The Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm (ScotRGH) team will lead this work and be the main point of contact for potential and successful projects.
