EPIC Restart Foundation

EPIC Restart Foundation is a charity built on lived experience of gambling harm, supporting people across the UK. We’re here to help raise awareness, challenge stigma, and empower people as they rebuild their lives after gambling harm.

“When I first reached out I felt lost and overwhelmed by my gambling addiction, I wasn't sure if I could ever reclaim my life. Now, I've not only managed to stop gambling but have also begun to rebuild my life in ways I hadn't thought possible.”

We are part of the National Gambling Support Network (NGSN)

We are part of the National Gambling Support Network (NGSN). This is a network of organisations that all provide support for people who are impacted by gambling-related harms.

Through listening to and working with those who have suffered gambling harm, we found that there were four main areas in which people wanted support to rebuild their lives after gambling. We made these areas our four pillars, developing our programmes around them.

1. Restoring good mental health & wellbeing

2. Overcoming isolation and reconnecting with a positive support network

3. Rediscovering confidence and self-belief

4. Rebuilding resilience and identifying practical coping strategies

“I just had my last coaching session, and I was nervous about it ending, but then I realised how far I’ve come. The Women Empowered sessions kept me connected and focused. It makes me so happy to have people around me who truly understand.”
