This is exactly why I and @epicpgc are so passionate about education in schools around the dangers of problem gambling. By sharing our powerful stories youngsters can make more informed choices and understand where this addiction can lead as I did @Eton_College @HMC_Org @iapsuk

Looking forward to the next 3 days at the HMC Conference in Manchester with headteachers and their guests. Over 1/2 million children are gambling every week and yet very few schools provide effective and impactful education in this area. Find us on Stand…lnkd.in/d2UcivD
