North's first clinic for problem gamblers
The university’s School of Events, Tourism & Hospitality Management worked with Leeds City Council to survey the extent of problem gambling in Leeds.
The research found up to 10,000 people within the city were impacted directly, but awareness of the support was limited. Data from the research was used in a successful bid to establish the first NHS-run clinic for problem gamblers outside of London, which opened in Leeds in 2018.
