The Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust - Online Introduction

About Project

The 0-25 VCS Forum in partnership with The Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM) are delighted to offer fully funded CPD for forward-facing professionals working with 0-25’s.

The Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM) is a national charity with a social purpose to inform, educate, safeguard and build digital resilience amongst young and vulnerable people; helping them to make informed decisions and understand the consequences around gambling and gaming.

This is achieved through evidence-led, evaluated and assured education programmes and resources for anyone that works with or cares for young and vulnerable people, including teachers, youth workers, community volunteers and mental health specialists. Our Education programme is City & Guilds assured and our resources are the winners of the Children and Young People Now PSHE Award 2020. The resources include small group activities, 1:1 activities and larger group activities which can be done with young people you work with.
