Congratulations and thank you to the Hillsborough families and the Government. There are hundreds of gambling suicides every year – this Bill should transform investigations and learning to change regulation and public information. www.gov.uk/government/n...

When someone dies by gambling suicide, investigations can reveal what went wrong – and how to prevent future deaths. This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, please watch and share our new film about how we support bereaved families #WSPD #WSPD25 www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9mc...

Today, @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social has agreed its Gambling Harms Prevention Strategy, a very welcome step to recognise the harm from gambling in order to address it. @gamblingwithlives.bsky.social @felly500.bsky.social @angelaargenzio.bsky.social

“The whole situation with Luke was completely avoidable... You start to see these errors allowing for deaths to occur and lessons are not being learned at all” – @annieashton2705.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Gambling has the potential to destroy lives. Charities like @gamblingwithlives.bsky.social do vital work. Yet to prevent more deaths, the Government should collect comprehensive information about deaths linked to gambling addiction.

Completely unacceptable #StopGamblingSuicides www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The brilliant charity @gamblingwithlives.bsky.social is doing that with its Chapter One programme. More info here if useful: www.chapter-one.org

We run the UK’s only specialist support service for families bereaved by gambling-related suicide. Free to use, our service includes bereavement and therapeutic support, community events, and help with investigations and campaigning. www.gamblingwithlives.org/family-servi...

"This will help more people get the right treatment at the right time" James Grimes, who leads Chapter One, explains on BBC Breakfast why the new NICE guidelines are so important For information and support, visit www.chapter-one.org

This is a vital point from Liz Ritchie on BBC Breakfast today GPs and healthcare professionals need a proper public health strategy led by the Department of Health and Social Care #StopGamblingSuicides

PARLIAMENT: It was lovely to meet Kindal and Phil again at a @gamblingwithlives.bsky.social event, raising awareness about the impact of gambling. I’m committed to working with communities across #WorsleyAndEccles to tackle this issue head-on and support those who are affected.

This will save lives. New NICE guidelines published today recommend healthcare professionals ask about gambling as part of routine checks

Bereaved families came together in parliament this week calling for every gambling death to be investigated and lessons learned. #StopGamblingSuicides

“That should be our aim & desire – no more deaths from gambling harm. Let’s make that a reality.” We agree 100% – thank you @gwynnemp.bsky.social for speaking these powerful words at our Parliamentary event yesterday

Thank you to all who attended our parliamentary event today, especially Abtisam Mohamed MP for hosting & Minister Gwynne, Baroness Twycross & Henrietta Bowden-Jones for speaking. Special thanks to all the bereaved families who made the journey.
