The Hidden Cost of Gambling - In person (Roundtable Event)

December 8, 2026, 11.30 – 14.30

Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector (GCVS), Glasgow City Centre

We welcome you to join our conversation for women whose lives have been affected by gambling, whether through your own gambling or someone else’s. Your story and your voice matter. This is a space where they will be heard and valued, and where they can help shape better support for women in the future. There’s no pressure to speak, you’re welcome to simply come along and listen.

This event is held in collaboration with Aila and Simon Community Scotland. Aila was created to give women affected by gambling a safe space, where they can find community, support and information. It was developed by women with lived and living experience of gambling harm, whether their own or someone else’s.
