Chances Gambling Support Service
Our gambling service supports people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, who are also negatively impacted by gambling. Support can be offered to the person gambling, and/or to friends or family members affected by someone else’s gambling.
We offer one-to-one non-judgemental tailored support to people gambling to help them reach their goals; whether aiming to reduce gambling or stop gambling completely.
The support we provide to family and friends impacted by gambling is focused on them, rather than the person who gambles. Family and friends are welcome to receive support whether the person gambling is being supported or not.
See our website, or below service leaflet for more information. To request a callback, or make a referral please contact us at chances@cyrenians.scot.
