Beacon Counselling Trust were thrilled to attend the House of Commons, for afternoon tea and networking, hosted by Alex Ballinger MP and Betknowmore UK on Thursday 19th June. The event was held in support of our work with the Armed Forces Gambling Support Network; a national programme committed to preventing and reducing gambling related harms with the armed forces and veterans’ community.
The event was extremely well attended by a range of key stakeholders seeking to address gambling harms within the armed forces community and engage with our offer. Receiving support from prominent politicians including Alex Ballinger MP will help promote this programme across all sectors but fundamentally those that support our armed forces.
Neil Platt, BCT Clinical Director said:
“My sincere appreciation to Alex Ballinger MP for supporting this landscape changing work. With over 20 thousand contacts since inception this programme is having the most amazing impact within the armed forces community and changing people lives.”
