Wigan Council is currently undertaking a Gambling Harms Needs Assessment to better understand gambling in Wigan and how it can affect individuals, families and communities.
As part of this work, they’d would like to hear directly from people about their experiences and views.
The survey is not just for people who gamble regularly or who feel gambling is causing difficulties. When we talk about gambling, we mean this broadly and include things such as the National Lottery, scratch cards, bingo, sports betting, gaming machines and online gambling.
They would like to hear from people who gamble, people who have gambled in the past, and people who may not gamble themselves but are affected by the gambling of someone close to them.
The survey takes around 7 minutes to complete. It is anonymous and we do not ask for names or information that identifies people.
