This includes writing to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, promote campaigns, and work with local health and voluntary sector partners. Joining and promoting the Coalition to End Gambling Ads (CEGA) and any similar national or local campaigns aimed at reducing gambling harm and reforming the law.

Working with local health and voluntary sector partners to signpost residents to gambling addiction support and education initiatives.
