“Am I the only person this has happened to?”

The myth that gambling is a normal, safe activity can lead bereaved families to feel isolated.

At GwL, no bereaved person will feel alone.

Thank you @catherinefookesmp.bsky.social for highlighting these alarming figures.

We agree 100% – gambling must be treated as a public health issue.
