BBC Radio 4 - File on 4 Investigates

Ian Whiteside from Beacon Counselling Trust, and project lead for the Armed Forces Gambling Support Network organised a Trek Therapy session and a serving member of the RAF to talk all things gambling in the Armed Forces.

You will also hear from Sharon Fernandez from the Primary Care Gambling Service who adds immense insight to the subject.

Andy Gallie and his daughter Mia Gallie were also involved to talk about how both the Armed Forces and gambling affected her. Children are massively affected by both the moving around during service, and on top of that, the abhorrent behaviour in the home of an affected parent.

We must use this to grow further awareness throughout the Armed Forces by using our own stories, experiences, and in depth knowledge of being there and doing it.
