GamCare’s Young People’s Service
GamCare’s Young People’s Service can support anyone aged 18 and under across the UK (including Northern Ireland) who is either ‘at risk’ of or experiencing harm because of gambling.
This can be if they are gambling themselves or if they are affected by someone else’s gambling. Our service is free, flexible and confidential, and we ensure that the young person receives the most appropriate help.
Young people, and anyone worried about a young person and gambling, can get in touch:
- via the National Gambling Helpline – 24 hours a day on Freephone 0808 8020 133, or via live chat – this can be accessed here, or via our dedicated website for young people, parents and teachers at BigDeal.org.uk

Signpost Young Carers
A ‘Young Carer’ is a child or young adult who spends time looking after or helping a member of their family who because of an illness or disability, mental health problem or drug and alcohol issue is unable to take care of everyday tasks themselves without some help. The help you may give could be shopping, making meals, doing the laundry, or perhaps you help out with nursing care, e.g. giving medication or lifting someone up and downstairs or in and out of bed. Maybe you give your time just to be with someone when they need company.
If you live in Stockport and this sounds like you and what you do, maybe we can be of some help.
Being a young carer can have a big impact on the things that are important to growing up. It can affect a young person’s health, social life and self-confidence. Many young carers struggle to juggle their education and caring which can cause pressure and stress. To find out what support we can offer young carers visit our website
If you or someone you know needs help, get in touch with the Young Carers team, see contact details below.
