About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 20 minutes

There has been a growing recognition in recent years of the similarities between alcohol and gambling issues.

Both behaviours are socially acceptable up to a point, but both have enormous potential for harm. Both industries are using digital technology to expand their reach and make their products more easily available.

Join us on 17 June, when we’ll be looking at the complex interface of alcohol and gambling issues, and asking what we can all do to support people who find themselves at that interface.
