IE Hub is proud to share an exciting update on our partnership with GamCare, the leading provider of specialist support for individuals experiencing gambling harms.
This unique collaboration marks a significant step forward in addressing the growing concerns surrounding gambling harm. Further, it will address its impact on personal finances.
IE Hub and GamCare partnership
The partnership between IE Hub and GamCare is not merely a joint effort. It is an amalgamation of expertise and resources to create a holistic solution for those in need. IE Hub, as the first-ever I&E tool to capture gambling spend, provides invaluable insights and data to empower users with a deeper understanding of their gambling habits and financial commitments.
IE Hub users will also be offered details of a range of support provided by GamCare. Those needing specialist assistance in managing gambling-related financial difficulties will be signposted to GamCare’s dedicated National Gambling Helpline.
GamCare’s Money Guidance Service will utilise IE Hub as its client management platform. GamCare will now gain access to a powerful and data-driven platform that enhances their ability to assist individuals in need.
GamCare’s advisors can now obtain valuable insights into each client’s unique financial situation. This information enables them to tailor their support and guidance more effectively. This will ensure that the assistance provided is personalised and relevant to the specific needs of the individual.
GamCare’s Money Guidance Service supports people who have been financially impacted by gambling. The aim is to help them get their finances back on track. The service provides guidance to help people understand their spending habits. As well as manage their budgets, recognise spending triggers, establish boundaries for them and suggest other changes they could make. The service is also open to people who are affected by someone else’s gambling. GamCare will work with them to improve their own financial position.
By combining the cutting-edge capabilities of IE Hub’s I&E assessment tool with the expert support of GamCare’s Money Guidance Service, both organisations are poised to impact the lives of those affected by gambling harm.
Let’s hear from those involved…
“We are thrilled to be partnering with GamCare to offer our users a seamless pathway to specialised support when it comes to addressing gambling-related financial challenges,” said Mark McELvanney, Client Services Director of IE Hub. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their gambling habits and finances.”
Kathy Wade, Money Guidance Service Manager, GamCare: “With 75% of people who use GamCare’s services last year citing financial challenges as a result of their gambling, we know how important the financial picture can be when supporting someone in their recovery from gambling. Partnering with IE Hub means that anyone enlisted in GamCare’s services will gain free access to IE Hub’s platform. They will be provided with the tools to get their finances back on track.
