Charities
GamCare operates the National Gambling Helpline, providing information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harms. Advisers are available 24 hours a day on Freephone 0808 8020 133 or via web chat at www.gamcare.org.uk. We also offer a range of free treatment services across England, Scotland and Wales, as well as a moderated Forum and daily chatrooms so that people can speak to others experiencing similar issues and seek support. We also run GameChange, an online treatment course for those who are concerned about their gambling behaviour, supported by regular contact with a GamCare therapist. The course has been designed so you can work at your own pace, wherever is most convenient for you, over the course of eight weeks. Dedicated information for young people, parents and teachers can be accessed via www.bigdeal.org.uk, and young people are also welcome to contact our services for dedicated support.
We are a leading UK charity conducting conservation science to enhance the British countryside for public benefit. For over 80 years we have been researching and developing game and wildlife management techniques. We use our research to provide training and advice on how best to improve the biodiversity of the countryside.
The Geffrye Museum presents the changing style of English middle-class interiors from 1600 to the present day through a series of period rooms. It is set in elegant 18th century almshouses with attractive gardens, including an award-winning herb garden and a series of period gardens (open April to October). An imaginative programme of events for children, families and adults is run throughout the year.
Genetic Alliance UK is a national charity with over 200 patient group members. We support all those affected by genetic, rare and undiagnosed conditions. We upskill patient organisations and conduct our own research while also supporting research and innovation in this field. We are experts in health policy and, in collaboration with our members, have driven home positive changes for patients and families. As a charity, we also run the campaign Rare Disease UK and the national support network SWAN UK (syndromes without a name). Our aim is to ensure that high-quality services, information and support are provided to all who need them.
