Our Q3 2023-24 data shows that we have achieved improvements and success across our services and that we have delivered successful outcomes for an increased number of service users. We have exciting plans to extend our services in the coming years so that we can support more people to live their lives free from gambling addiction.

Applications to date

Applications increased from 640 to 721 at the end of Q3, a rise of 13% compared to the same period in 2022-2023, and increased by 15% in Q3 alone compared to the same period in 2022-2023.

In the 18-24 age range, applications remained steady, continuing the theme that people are reaching out for support earlier than previously. We saw a slight reduction in applications in the 25-34 age group and a slight increase in the 45-54 age range.

Our applications continue to be diverse but we have a smaller percentage of people applying for treatment from certain ethnic groups than we would expect when compared to UK census data. We will strive to meet demand and ensure that our treatment is available to all.

Our client reach shows that people across the UK are accessing our treatment centres – which are mainly based in the West Midlands – reinforcing that we are the UK’s leading charity dedicated to providing support and treatment for gambling addiction.

Our collaborative work with others in the National Gambling Support Network and the wider treatment sector has led to an increase in referrals from other organisations. This helps us realise our vision of getting people the right treatment, in the right place, at the right time.

Pre-treatment

The average time taken from application to decision dropped by 33% in Q1-Q3, compared to the same period in 2022-2023. This is due to a more efficient assessment and decision process and an increase in staffing to support the process.

Over 95% of applications were accepted, with those not accepted for treatment being referred to other services ensuring that we provide the right treatment options for all those who apply.

Over 845 pre-support one-to-one sessions we delivered at in Q1-Q3, along with 41 group sessions (on average one per week). Pre-treatment support is vital in holding clients until a bed space becomes available, but it is not a substitution for treatment.

Treatment outcomes

The average improvement of PGSI scores from the start to the end of treatment is 17.5 points for residential and 11.5 points for Retreat & Counselling (R&C). The improvement of CORE-10 scores from the start to the end of treatment are also very positive, with a 14-point improvement in residential and an 11-point improvement in R&C.

Post-treatment

Our wrap-around programme continues to grow, with one-to-one sessions growing 38% across Q1-Q3, compared to the same period in 2022-2023. Engagement from our ex-service users continues to grow with 200 attending one-to-one sessions and 64 attending group sessions. On average, ex-service users spend 182 days in aftercare.
