The North East Council for Addictions (NECA) Gambling Harm Prevention and Education team deliver training and awareness sessions to young people from 10-25 years old, professionals, parents and carers; raising awareness around gambling related harms that young people may come across regularly.

Their Young People sessions are linked to the PSHE curriculum and come at no cost to your organisation. Similarly, their Professionals sessions are fully CPD accredited again at no cost to you. The sessions can be offered both face to face at your school or virtual sessions all year round.

NECA are very keen to increase awareness of gambling related harms throughout communities and organisations working with young people. To enable them to further promote this work we are looking to recruit Gambling Related Harms Champions within youth organisations/schools/colleges etc.

NECA aspire to have a Gambling Related Harms Champion within each school/organisation, this would involve a free awareness session to enable the champions to recognise signs of gambling harms, deliver a brief intervention and signpost to appropriate support. This would be invaluable in raising awareness of the harms and the support available.

They can provide leaflets, posters, popups and gambling related harms awareness sessions amongst other things.

Please find below a link to access the NECA charter for further information, this includes a QR code and link for ease of sign up.

Each year between November 13 – 19, people and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help increase understanding about transgender people and the issues members of the community face.

Trans Awareness Week takes place the week before Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20. Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence that year.

Every year, bullying impacts the lives of countless young people and silence helps it grow.

That’s why, this Anti-Bullying Week, we’re empowering young people to use their Power for Good to safely speak up and raise awareness when they see bullying, face to face or online.

Lasting change needs all of us. From playgrounds to parliament, our homes to our phones — we all have a part to play.

Together, we can use our Power for Good to end bullying — for good.
