Results of gambling survey to be published

Wed, 03 Oct 2012

Almost 2,000 people returned them confidentially, offering their views and attitudes towards the pastime.

GamCare will present the results at a public lecture on Thursday.

Support worker Lynsey Smart explains why the exercise needed to be conducted:
