Fix Radio is Gamble Aware

Fix Radio has joined forces with GambleAware to tackle the stigma surrounding gambling
harms and encourage people to open up and seek support.

What is gambling harm?

While gambling is often positioned as harmless fun, it can lead to serious issues for some,
including:

• Financial troubles, like debt or loss of possessions
• Mental health struggles
• Relationship difficulties
• Workplace challenges
• Feeling isolated

These impacts, known as gambling harms, can creep up on people and impact on their lives
in a negative way – and this also extends to the people, family and friends, around them.

Breaking Down Stigma

Stigma—people feeling shame, judgment, or unfairly labelled —often prevents people from
seeking help. Open, honest, and non-judgmental conversations are a crucial first step to
breaking these barriers.

Talking About Gambling

Worryingly, new data reveals that two thirds of the public feel there is a stigma around gambling harm, which is preventing people from seeking vital support.

If you're worried about how gambling is making you feel, or it's affecting someone you care about, GambleAware can help. So let's open up about gambling.
