GLEN (Gambling Lived Experience Network)

Our ambition is to be a network for people with experience of what it means to be impacted by harmful gambling who can come together to make a real difference to people’s lives through creating a collective voice which can meaningfully participate and influence national debate and policy making across the gambling sector. Beyond that we want to create an inclusive and welcoming space for individuals from all backgrounds and experiences to be supportive of others facing the same challenges they have faced. Knowing that someone else has been where you are now can be so important, and being able to learn from their understanding and to share your own with them can literally transform lives for the better. “GLEN is our opportunity to drive the agenda, to make lived experience at the forefront of development and implementation of the reduction of gambling harms on society”
