Gordon Moody, the UK’s leading charity dedicated to providing residential treatment for gambling-related harm, has formed a partnership with EPIC Restart Foundation to create a seamless pathway to support people every step of the way.

Partnership

Gordon Moody and EPIC Restart Foundation have been working together for many years and the overarching aim of this partnership is to help sustain recovery journeys by:

  • supporting and encouraging people preparing to enter treatment with Gordon Moody.
  • building confidence in the future during our residential programme.
  • supporting service users engaged in our aftercare programme.
  • referring service users to EPIC Restart Foundation’s longer-term recovery-focused programmes.

Support for service users

Service users will have an increased motivation to engage positively with treatment, support, and aftercare, as well as increased confidence and awareness that they can build strong foundations to sustain their recovery. Improvements in mental health and wellbeing will also be seen as service users increase their support networks, self-worth, resilience, and ability to cope.

Partnership kick off

Both teams came together at Gordon Moody House in Redditch on Thursday 23rd January to formally kick off the partnership, meet current service users, and share lunch with everyone.

Gordon Moody Operations Director, Jon Murray, commented:

“It was great to welcome Richie, Mark, and Stacey from EPIC Restart Foundation to Redditch today. During our time with service users, we heard about the friendships that have been built whilst in the programme, and how everyone from Gordon Moody and EPIC Restart Foundation has supported the path they are on today, and in the future.

“To work alongside an organisation that reflects our values and ambitions like EPIC Restart Foundation and help more people with gambling-related harm, is a real privilege and we look forward to what the future holds.”

Richie Paxton, Head of Programmes at EPIC Restart Foundation, stated:

“We are thrilled to officially partner with Gordon Moody, building on an already strong relationship. Together, we’ll be there for people every step of the way – from the moment they seek help, through treatment, recovery, and beyond.

“This partnership will allow us to empower even more people to rebuild and live positive lives after gambling harm. Let’s continue to make a difference!”
