🧠 Interactive Gambling Awareness Workshops

Duration: 53 minutes Group Size: Up to 30 students (or 30 staff/teachers) per session Format: Hands-on, discussion-led, and fully interactive – no lectures, just real conversations that stick.

Our workshops use lived experience and relatable stories to help Years 6–11 pupils explore gambling risks in their world today: loot boxes in games, betting ads on social media/sports, peer pressure, and the trap of "chasing losses" instead of focusing on personal goals and dreams.

Pupils leave more aware, reflective, and equipped to make smarter choices—backed by positive feedback from schools like Harborne Academy ("engaging, interesting, fun").

What Makes Our Sessions Stand Out

• Pupil-centered — Encourages open sharing in a safe, non-judgmental space.
• Flexible delivery — Works for student groups, staff training, or mixed sessions.
• Built-in follow-up — Every booking includes our free 100 Days Journaling Challenge: Simple daily prompts for private reflection on choices, temptations, feelings, and goals. Teachers use it easily in form time, homework, or wellbeing slots—no extra prep needed.
• Real impact — Helps build emotional resilience and self-awareness to spot early risks.

Daily Schedule Options We can typically deliver up to four sessions per day (adjustable to your timetable):

🕙 10:00 AM 🕚 11:15 AM 🕛 12:30 PM 🕐 2:00 PM

Booking Notes

• Sessions tailored to your school's needs (e.g., year-group focus, class size adjustments).
• Travel/fees discussed upfront—transparent and school-friendly.
• Feedback welcomed—we refine based on what works best for you.

Why Now?

Recent surveys show around 30% of 11–17 year olds in Great Britain spent their own money on some form of gambling activity in the past year (mostly unregulated like private bets or arcade games), with exposure common via apps and ads. Early, engaging conversations make a difference.
