🧠 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 draw on 39 years of lived, documented experience and relatable storytelling to help Years 6–11 pupils explore the gambling risks in their world today: loot boxes in games, betting ads on social media and sport, 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 — with positive feedback from schools including Harborne Academy, who described the sessions as "engaging, interesting, fun."

What Makes Our Sessions Stand Out

  • Pupil-centred — encourages open sharing in a safe, non-judgemental 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. Fits easily into form time, homework, or wellbeing slots — no extra prep needed
  • Real impact — builds emotional resilience and self-awareness to help pupils 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 (year-group focus, class size adjustments)
  • Travel and fees discussed upfront — transparent and school-friendly
  • Feedback welcomed — we refine based on what works best for your pupils

Why Now?

The Gambling Commission's most recent national survey found that 30% of 11–17 year olds in Great Britain had spent their own money on some form of gambling activity in the past year — most commonly unregulated forms like private bets or arcade games — with exposure now common via apps and advertising. Early, engaging conversations make a real difference.
