One of our counsellors Lisa Gibson is running the Manchester Marathon to raise funds for our work supporting women impacted by gambling addiction. Lisa has been working with thrivin’ together over the last year supporting women impacted by their own or someone else’s gambling. We are really grateful to Lisa for choosing us as her cause and wish her the very best for her training and the actual event.
All donations will go towards providing responsive and useful support to women including peer support, activities to connect and learn, counselling and Helping Hand crisis vouchers.
This is what Lisa had to say:
“Having worked alongside Thrivin Together for a year now I have come to understand the detrimental impact of Gambling Addiction on Women either as affected others or as a coping mechanism for everyday life following trauma. Thrivin Together are a small community social enterprise raising awareness and carrying out valuable work in this sector across the UK. Nadine Ashworth CEO and the team are passionate about ensuring women are able to access the vital support they need through a range of services including counselling support. Without funding the services cannot continue and many women will be left isolated without support. So, please support me in raising funds to maintain the support we’re offering and continuing our vital work throughout the UK.”
