Gambling Recovery for All CIC

​

A Community Interest Company providing accessible,

funded support for people harmed by gambling.

 

Gambling Recovery for All CIC is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC no. 15981485) founded by Lorraine Perrons and Claire Jones. We exist to ensure that individuals and families affected by gambling-related harm can access support, education, and recovery services regardless of financial circumstances.

 

Our work is rooted in lived experience, compassion, and evidence-informed practice. We aim to reduce harm, restore connection, and support meaningful, long-term recovery for individuals, families, and communities.

 

We are committed to inclusivity and social justice, working to remove financial, cultural, and systemic barriers that prevent people from receiving help. Our work is informed by professional expertise, lived experience as affected others, and a deep understanding of trauma, shame, and isolation often associated with gambling harm.

​

Who We Support

​

We support:

 

• Individuals experiencing harm from their own gambling

• Affected others, including partners, parents, young adults, family members, and friends

• Under-served and marginalised communities, including BAME communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, veterans, women, older adults, neuro-divergent individuals, and those facing complex life challenges

• Individuals unable to access private therapy

• People experiencing shame, isolation, or barriers to statutory support

​

We recognise that gambling harm rarely exists in isolation. It is often interconnected with trauma, mental health challenges, financial strain, relationship breakdown, and inter-generational patterns of coping and survival.

​

Our Approach

​

At Gambling Recovery for All CIC, we do not define people by labels. We understand gambling that feels out of control as a response to deeper emotional, psychological, or situational challenges

Our work is:

 

• Trauma informed

• Lived experience informed

• Compassion led

• Evidence aware

​

We aim to promote prevention, enable early intervention, and support recovery in ways that are respectful, empowering, and sustainable.

​

Our work is delivered through funded programmes and partnerships, allowing us to provide structured, ethical support in line with the scope and requirements of each funding arrangement.
