We want to hear your ideas about what activity you might deliver and how communities will be engaged in the design and delivery. You might want to think about:

  • How you will raise awareness of gambling harms within your organisation and your community, such as through targeted outreach, education, and engagement
  • Why you think this approach will work, with examples of past work your group has done to address related social issues, such as mental health, addiction, or community engagement
  • How you might involve local experts by lived experience of gambling related harms
  • Expected duration and timeline (projects to be completed within 6 months)
