Activities
At Welsh Gambling Education Hub Adferiad, we have created a wide variety of activities to be carried out as part of our gambling awareness incentive. The activities are split into three sections: young people, parents and carers, and professionals.
Â
Young People
The educational and interactive activities that we have created include toolkits, lesson plans, peer-based performances, with scenarios to generate debate and promote discussion. The activities are designed to help young people understand the risks of gambling, the signs of gambling addiction, and how to set limits on gambling.
