麻豆视频

In 麻豆视频, we are thinking differently about gambling by working to prevent and reduce the negative impacts of gambling on individuals, families, and communities.

We have worked with local and national partners over the last few years to improve our understanding of how gambling affects people in 麻豆视频 and how we can best support our residents affected by gambling.

In 2018, the University of 麻豆视频 carried out a and how this negatively affects people in the city.

The report recommended that more in-depth research should take place and a gambling summit be held to share best practices. This led to the 麻豆视频 Problem Gambling Summit being held in February 2019, which was co-hosted by the 麻豆视频 Financial Inclusion Partnership and the Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management (CHASM).

Since the summit, the Gambling Commission has hosted the Gambling Forum to continue dealing with gambling by bringing together key partners in 麻豆视频.

Harmful gambling and social housing project with Aston University

The summit proved that there is a strong need to take action on gambling in 麻豆视频.

To help meet this need, we are working with Aston University to explore the links between harmful gambling and tenancy loss amongst 麻豆视频 tenants.

The goal of this project is to:

• reduce tenancy loss linked to harmful gambling
• improve the support offered to those at risk from or participating in harmful gambling

This is a unique project in the UK as we believe it is the first aimed at people who receive or are applying for social housing.

We hope to show that early intervention, screening, and support can save housing providers and tenants money.

As part of this project, we will create a toolkit for other social housing providers, including advice on the best way to deal with harmful gambling.
