Unbound Programme

We were grateful to attend the insightful 1-Day Gambling Harms Training and Collaborative Co-design Session, which offered valuable insights into the complex nature of gambling harm and its impact on individuals and communities. The session emphasized the importance and the need for collaborative, community-driven solutions. By learning from experts and sharing ideas with a diverse group of participants, we gained practical strategies that can be applied to help not only survivors of modern slavery but also the broader community. The knowledge and tools from this session will support our ongoing efforts to address harm in all its forms, empowering individuals to overcome vulnerabilities and break free from cycles of exploitation.

This training is particularly relevant to the work of the Unbound Programme, where we support survivors of modern slavery in rebuilding their lives. Much like gambling addiction, modern slavery often involves deep psychological and financial harm that can be difficult to overcome without the right support. The collaborative insights from the session will enable us to create more effective, survivor-centered interventions that address both immediate needs and long-term recovery. Special thanks to for organizing this event, as it provided an invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and develop solutions that will benefit both survivors and the Manchester community at large.
