Spotlight on: Gambling Support Service

Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) is funded by GambleAware to deliver the Gambling Support Service (GSS) across Scotland from April 2022 to March 2025.

The project delivers training to frontline workers to help them recognise when people are at risk of, or experiencing, gambling harms. GSS also supports people in accessing specialist support and treatment services and it aims to raise awareness of gambling harms in Scotland.
