REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
Our Aims and Objectives
We are incredibly proud to share with you the annual report for GamFam for the year ended 31 October 2025.
Who are GamFam
GamFam was incorporated on 11 October 2019 and was awarded full charity status by the Charities Commission for England and Wales on 3 September 2020 and the Office of the Scottish Regulator (OSCR) on 2 March 2022.
GamFam provide structured, lived experience-led online Peer Support for both affected others and those directly in recovery.
GamFam have now delivered 3200+ online structured Peer Support meetings and currently have 350+ members accessing regular support across the various 28 (with plans for more) weekly groups that we operate.
All meetings are underpinned by the GamFam Recovery and Support Programme (GRASP) , a structured framework supporting both affected others and individuals directly in recovery.
All of our facilitators have previously accessed support with GamFam and have completed our CPD accredited facilitator training programme.
Our meetings help our members start to understand the devastating impact that a gambling disorder can have. Through our collective lived experiences it offers guidance on how individuals, families and friends can help themselves, as well as practical suggestions for coping day-by-day and help move towards a more positive future.
In addition, members have the opportunity to share their experiences in a safe space, with no fear of judgement and with others who have real empathy and understanding with their own unique situation and perhaps offer that little bit of hope, especially in the very early stages of recovery.
For affected others, we run specialist groups tailored specifically for parents, partners, and a dedicated group for siblings, sons and daughters. On the recovery side, we provide meetings throughout the week, including a dedicated pathway for women in recovery.
In addition to our weekly groups, we host monthly joint sessions covering a range of topics alongside various guest speaker events. As well as our yearly in-person event we also hold an annual online recovery and celebration event.
This year we are also launching the GamFam Roadshow , bringing localised, in-person events to communities across England.
2
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
We firmly believe that the GamFam Peer Support and the evidence-based NHS therapeutic support are not mutually exclusive and that both services can complement one another. If we can support both the affected other and the person in recovery we think there is an improved opportunity for our members to maintain and sustain their respective recoveries.
Purposes and Aims
Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are to benefit the public by the preservation and protection of good mental health and the relief of need among people who have developed or who are at risk of developing a gambling addiction, their parents, families and friends by:
-
raising public awareness and understanding of the early warning signs commonly associated with the development of a gambling addiction to promote early intervention and minimise any related potential harms;
-
providing advice and support in particular but not exclusively to the parents, family and friends of teenagers and young people at the risk of a gambling addiction;
-
assisting and supporting individuals who have or may be at risk of a gambling addiction; and
-
raising general awareness amongst the public of the issue of gambling addiction.
Our Vision
Empowering individuals and families to alleviate the impact of gambling harms and move towards a positive future.

How our activities deliver public benefit
Our Programmes
Peer Support
We offer support through GRA5P – The GamFam Recovery and Support Programme, a structured 5-stage self-help peer support programme which was originally designed to
4
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
support those affected by someone else’s gambling. However, out of demand, GamFam have now developed a similar programme to support those directly in recovery too.
Currently all our meetings operate remotely via Zoom allowing us to help and support more people in more locations without any natural barriers to location. Meetings are hosted by trained GamFam facilitators.
The GRA5P programme delivers a strong support network so that group members can start to understand the devastating impact that a gambling disorder can have. It also offers guidance on how individuals, families and friends can help themselves, as well as practical suggestions for coping day-by-day and moving towards a more positive future.
Through structured peer support the GRA5P programme gives its members the opportunity to share their experiences in a safe space, with no fear of judgement and with others who have real empathy and understanding with their own unique situation.
What difference does GamFam make to our peer group members
GamFam offers affected others and gamblers in recovery a safe, confidential space to share and support with other peers. Our peer groups are structured around the GRA5P five step programme. All facilitators have lived experience of gambling harms and have attended our in-house training, safeguarding training and the Suffolk Mind’s ‘The Essentials’ mental health training.
Feedback from our members
“Being able to relate to others who have had similar experiences. Listening and being heard, sharing and learning. But most of all having support and people who genuinely care.”
“It has helped me to cope immensely with a member of family gambling on how to deal with the myriad of issues arising.”
“It has provided me with a safe space to discuss issues related to gambling with people who understand what I am going through.”
“It has given me the road back to life.”
“It has given me huge support. A space in which to talk freely about my anxieties and from which to gain strategies to help me manage.”
“If I didn't have GamFam, I would be seriously ill, both mentally and physically. I was totally unable to cope with my gambler.”
“It's kept me mentally stable. Has given me hope that things can get better. It's shown me ways to put things in placed to help prevent the gambler in our family from gambling.”
5
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
“It’s enabled me to process my own thoughts and think more clearly. For the first time in 2 years, I’ve started to talk about my life living with an addict/addict in recovery. It’s like a weight has been lifted.”
Information and Awareness
GamFam want to change people’s perceptions about gambling and help combat the stigma surrounding gambling harms which is often referred to as the 'hidden addiction' so that gambling is viewed on the same level as other addictions such as drugs and alcohol.
Gambling is often promoted as 'a bit of fun' and has been normalised as an integral part of enjoying sport, in particular football. In addition, a recent report found that children who enjoyed the risk of simulated online gaming were more likely to gamble later in life.
Through our CPD accredited Information and Awareness programmes we want to support all people but with a particular focus on parents/carers, families and professionals working with young people to enable them to make informed choices and decisions about gambling.
The GamFam CPD accredited Information and Awareness presentations cover the following topics :
-
The links between online gaming and gambling
-
How gambling has changed and that potentially we all have access to a casino in our pocket through our mobile devices
-
10 Things to Look For & 10 Things to Do
-
Preparing for 18
-
Next Steps – additional support and signposting
Our presentations are age appropriate and can be delivered to parents/carers, families or professionals of children and youngsters of any age through to adults and offer strategies and advice for The Early Years (Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3) Preparing for 18 (Key Stage 4), Off to University/Work (Key Stage 5) and beyond.
Financial Review
The Charity is now firmly established, and our cost base has increased accordingly. The increased costs, combined with a drop in income, resulted in a deficit of £43,972 (2024: surplus £97,395). This deficit was comfortably met from reserves and we still retain sufficient reserves to support the sustainability of our activities.
Principal Funding Sources
During the year 9% of income was derived from grants and fees (2024: 41%), 86% from voluntary donations (2024: 56%) and 5% (2024: 3%) from interest receivable.
6
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
Reserves Policy
In The Trustees’ view, the reserves should provide GamFam with adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future.
The Trustees have adopted a policy of retaining sufficient free reserves to ensure the continuity of operations and to absorb periodic setbacks, while committing to the maximum amount available for the provision of services to our service-users.
The following formula for the calculation of free reserves was adopted by The Trustees:
- Six months operational expenditure (including cost of Services, Salaries & Overhead) multiplied by a contingency factor of 20%.
Less
- 75% of projected income over the same 6-month period
Reserves are to retained in a combination of GamFam’s bank current account, fixed term deposit accounts and an instant access deposit account. The allocation between accounts is determined by GamFam’s liquidity requirements based on its financial projections.
The Trustees will review the amount of reserves that are required to fulfil GamFam’s continuing obligations at a minimum of every six months. Care will be taken to consider changing funding structures and activity growth strategies. The policy will be reviewed at a minimum of every two years.
Investment Policy
Most of the charity’s funds are to be spent in the short term so there are no funds for long term investment.
7
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
Plans for Future Periods
GamFam have worked hard to establish itself as a well-respected independent Charity. We currently support 350+ people on a regular basis and have held in excess of 3,200 online Peer Support sessions on our various GRA5P groups with a further proportion who do not access support on groups on a regular basis but are supported on an ad-hoc basis and are part of our quarterly check in routine.
We pride ourselves on being able to respond to all referrals and enquiries within 24 hours (if not sooner) and where appropriate currently have the facility to place those in need of support onto a group within one week.
Lived Experience is at the heart of everything we do, and we will continue to identify those group members who have the desire to become fully trained GamFam facilitators to enable us to increase the number of groups that we operate. We have developed our own in-house CPD accredited Facilitator Training programme that means we will be able to help more people in more locations without compromising the quality of our service.
Our plan is to adopt a co-facilitation model and use our established and experienced facilitators to work as mentors to support new facilitators in the early stages of their service. This will help us ensure that group members continue to receive the quality of support that they require.
We have a committed Core team that has allowed GamFam to take a more strategic approach beyond the day to day running of the organisation as it has grown.
We also have a dedicated team of Facilitators who have all previously accessed support with GamFam and have all completed our CPD accredited Facilitator Training Programme.

Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers and clients. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.
Organisational Structure
A scheme of delegation is in place and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services rest with the Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met.

Responsibilities of the Directors
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the management committee should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice
-
• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The Directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report to the directors of GamFam (“the Company”) on the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2025 set out on pages 12 to 18.
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”) and the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) (“the 2006 Accounts Regulations”).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Company are not required to be audited for this period under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”) and Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and under section 44(1)(c) of the 2005 Act.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act; Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act; and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with such records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of 2006 Act and Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
