UK ministers allocate up to £11m in levy funding to GambleAware
UK ministers agreed to provide GambleAware with up to £11 million from gambling levy proceeds for this year, Sarah Murphy, Wales’s mental health and wellbeing minister, said. The transitional funding is intended to support continuity of treatment access as the statutory levy replaces voluntary donations; operators are preparing for their first payments by 1 October.
The one-year allocation affects GambleAware’s funding as operators move from voluntary donations to the statutory levy.
