47. Safer Gambling Week

The 18th - 24th November is 'Safer Gambling Week' - A cross-industry initiative to promote safer gambling in the UK & Ireland

Gambling can have a huge effect on your finances as our guest Ben found out first hand. Ben's gambling started small before spiralling out of control and eventually culminated in a prison sentence after stealing from his employer to fund his addiction. 

Ben now supports people who are suffering with similar issues. His work includes ‘Time Out’ which is a gambling recovery service in Nottingham, through ‘Double Impact’ and he co-hosts ‘Hold or Fold’, a gambling focussed podcast also produced by the ‘Prison Radio Association’
