The fund, announced late yesterday (26 March), will offer organisations that are unsuccessful in getting statutory levy funds an additional three months of funding, beginning from 1 April.
The announcement follows a controversial statutory levy roll-out which has left many gambling harms professionals concerned about possible impacts on service users.
