Providing the light at the end of a dark tunnel
Gordon Moody was set up 50 years ago to turn around the lives of gambling addicts.
Today, working together with the gambling industry and others, we provide quality innovative therapeutic treatment to those most severely affected by gambling harm.
There is no other charity or support service that provides the intensive, round-the-clock treatment that Gordon Moody does.
Gambling is a complex, hidden addiction that affects a growing number of men, but also an increasingly worrying number of women and young people.
Over recent years, online gambling has become increasingly available and the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our society has led to an increase in mental health illness, financial pressures.
These are all ingredients which, when combining in a perfect storm, could push vulnerable individuals down a slippery slope to gambling harm and addiction.
We aim to be the light at the end of the dark tunnel of severe gambling addiction. Experienced clinical professionals know exactly when and how treatment is most effective for individuals that find themselves in this ‘last-chance saloon’.
Recovering addicts vouch that Gordon Moody does save, reclaim and rebuild lives from the depths of despair.
Gordon Moody’s life-changing treatment is two-fold and this is directly where the funding goes. Residential retreat centres provide intense therapy away from the dangers of gambling along with the provision of wrap around outreach support for gamblers, their loved ones, family and friends providing a vital lifeline for all who are touched by gambling harm.
Make a real difference by funding Gordon Moody
As a national charity, Gordon Moody is reliant on grants and donations to fund treatment and support programmes.
With demand growing, costs are escalating and donations for specific projects or to fund more general treatment and outreach support are more important than ever.
As a charity, we rely on your generosity to look after the people in our care.
Your support not only helps to provide immediate care and support for those most at risk from gambling addiction, but it also helps to turn people’s lives around.
Quite literally, your donation and continuing support can save a person’s life and get them on the road to being completely free of gambling addiction.
Problem gambling is the hidden addiction and often people avoid asking for help.
When they do finally ask for help they need the type of specialist treatment that Gordon Moody provides in a secure and supporting environment.
We need more of those residential environments to deal with a growing problem in our society.
We need also to continue that care afterwards, and provide support that helps the family and friends of those who have been affected.
Your donation can help our charity offer more places and save more lives, and rebuild even more lives.
We are very proud at Gordon Moody when someone says to us: “Gordon Moody saved my life.”
We’d like you to be part of that. With your support, we can add 50 years’ experience to bricks and mortar and resources that enables people to finally break free of gambling addiction.
