@GambleWithLives
We're a charity set up by families bereaved by gambling-related suicide that provides support, raises awareness, & advocates for change.

- Replying to @EmmaLewell and @AdmiralSlotsIf you talked with us about the families we support who have lost their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and partners to gambling-related suicide you might not be so keen to promote this.
- We’re proud to share that our co-founders, Liz and Charles Ritchie, have been awarded MBEs for their services to charity and bereaved families. gamblingwithlives.org/press/gambling…
- Luke Ashton's inquest has concluded that gambling disorder killed Luke & the operator Betfair could & should have done much more to intervene. This is unprecedented. Huge respect to @annieashton2705 who has been amazingly strong & determined throughout.
- The @Independent's "guide to the best UK slots" is a random list of 40+ online casinos offering incentives to lure you in. As a charity supporting families bereaved by gambling suicide, we're asking: Is this responsible journalism? @Geordie_Greig @domjoly @The_Real_JSP ?
- Kay Wadsworth, who lost her daughter Kimberly to gambling, has written a powerful letter to the @BarclaysWSL ahead of the @lionesses World Cup match tomorrow. @KayWadsworth6 is calling on the women's game to think of their young fans and reject all gambling partnerships. Please
- Every day the Gambling Act review white paper is delayed is another family shattered. Here @annieashton2705 sets out what needs to happen. #StopGamblingSuicides @10DowningStreet @hmtreasury @DCMS @GamRegGB @38degrees @CPhilpOfficial
- Amazingly powerful from @annieashton2705 talking to @PaulMerse on @BBCOne last night. The gambling industry needs to hang its head in shame.
00:00 - At least one person dies every single day in the UK because of gambling – “that’s not something we wanted on our conscience,” says @NicolaPalios Wonderful to see @TranmereRovers put their fans & community first
- Fines are no deterrent for huge gambling companies. They must lose their licences for serious failures, especially when linked to suicides. Share if you agree!We're supporting three families who've lost loved ones to suicide linked to social responsibility and other failures by the gambling operator Gamesys, which has today been fined £6 million by the Gambling Commission.
