The Big Step
The Big Step is a campaign to end gambling advertising and sponsorship in football, led by people harmed by gambling.
We are a part of Gambling with Lives , a registered charity and a community of families bereaved by gambling-related suicide that raises awareness of the devastating effects of gambling disorder & campaigns for change
- There are an estimated 409 gambling- related suicides every year in England alone Source
Despite this, football continues to promote something that takes hundreds of lives every year.
That's why we are calling for both the government and football itself to take responsibility for young supporters and kick gambling ads out of football.
We've had some success, the Premier League has agreed to end shirt front gambling sponsorship but there is much more to do.
If you are able to consider donating towards our cause, it will help with our events and activities. All donations will go to Gambling with Lives, which The Big Step is a part of.
