At the beginning of August, PlayItForward and it’s wonderful partners treated 17 young persons (ranging from five to 15 years old) along with three adults to a day of respite at Chester Zoo.

Our partners love what Crossroads Isle of Man is doing for young carers and wanted to get involved. So they raised funds via a coat sale, which provided enough money to give each person a lunch, dinner and treat on the day. In addition, their generosity continued by providing snacks for breakfast and the boat journey.

We’re so glad that everyone enjoyed the well-deserved day out and it was filled with fun and memories.

Thank you to all the PlayItForward partners, Billie and Maddie from Crossroads Isle of Man for helping to make the day happen, as well as IOM Steam Packet for offering the experience.

Our 2023 donation has enabled Ygam to deliver their groundbreaking Preventing Gambling Harms in Diverse Communities programme, aimed at safeguarding young people from ethnic minority populations.

This UK wide programme aims to raise awareness and address the issue of gambling harm disproportionately affecting people from ethnic minority populations.

Ygam provides educational workshops to faith and community groups where the content explores gaming and gambling harm amongst minority communities centering on socio-cultural and religious contexts of shame and stigma relating to gambling harms.

We recently had the privilege of joining Daniel Bliss, Director of External Affairs at Ygam, for a live webinar where he provided valuable insights into the incredible work the charity is doing.

We're proud to support Ygam in their mission and would like to thank Daniel and the entire team for their dedication and commitment.
