How the FRC Problem Gambling Support Service is funded:
The FRC Problem Gambling Support Service is funded through the Gambling Awareness Trust (GAT), an independent charitable organization established in 2019. GAT's mission is to support research, education, and treatment initiatives aimed at mitigating gambling-related harm in Ireland. Governed by a voluntary board of trustees, GAT relies on contributions from Ireland's online and retail betting and gaming industry to sustain its operations.
Individuals seeking assistance, either for themselves or for someone they care about, can access a variety of dedicated problem gambling support services. These services encompass residential programmes, face-to-face counselling, online counselling, support groups, and self-help tools. Such comprehensive offerings are designed to aid individuals in overcoming the challenges associated with problem gambling and facilitate their journey towards recovery and improved wellbeing.
