GLEN raises concerns over gambling-harm funding transition in England

The Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN) raised concerns about uncertainty for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations after England’s first prevention-funding decisions under the new gambling levy. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities notified applicants 13 days before the funding period begins, leaving some organisations facing decisions about continuing or closing services. GLEN said gaps could emerge if existing service capacity is not maintained.
