London, 25 July 2022: GambleAware, the leading charity keeping people safe from gambling harms, has today published the list of donations and pledges it received during the first quarter (Q1) of the current 2022/23 financial year.
In order to be transparent in the context of the current voluntary funding arrangements, GambleAware publishes details of donations and pledges received from those that derive an income from gambling in Britain on a quarterly basis.
Between 1 April 2022 and 30 June 2022, the charity received a total of £435,641.35. This was given in the form of voluntary donations from the gambling industry and excludes regulatory settlements and additional donations.
All those who profit from gambling are asked to donate a minimum of 0.1% of their annual Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) to GambleAware each year; and those with an annual GGY of less than £250,000 to donate a minimum of £250.
All funds donated to GambleAware go towards activity which is delivered against the charity’s commissioning objectives, and is supportive of a collaborative, whole-system approach to the prevention of gambling harms.
Looking ahead, GambleAware continues to call for a compulsory levy to support a sustainable, long-term funding model and ensure the successful delivery of the research, treatment and prevention services needed to prevent and treat gambling harms.
The full list of organisations and the amount donated is available to view in full here.
