Claire F · UK · Rebuild & Rise participantI took part in Rebuild & Rise: Reclaim Your Life, the 12-week programme for women affected by someone else’s gambling. I found it completely transformed my perspective and helped me regain control over what had felt like an overwhelming and uncontrollable situation.
It gave me the space to understand my own experiences with clarity and compassion, and to rebuild confidence I thought I’d lost.
Claire and Lorraine were welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable; their support made me feel seen, understood and safe. With their guidance, I began to reconnect with myself again, finding strength, balance and boundaries.
I can’t recommend it enough, and I was so sad that we only had 12 weeks. I could listen to Claire and Lorraine all day.

Rising Above the Gambling Storm: support for women affected by someone else’s gambling.
Rebuild & Rise: Reclaim Your Life is our 12-week programme for women whose lives have been affected by someone else’s gambling.
You may arrive feeling exhausted, uncertain, angry, numb, overwhelmed or simply tired of having so much of your life revolve around somebody else’s gambling. You do not need to arrive feeling confident or ready with all the answers.
Across 12 weeks, we help you understand what prolonged uncertainty and emotional pressure may have been doing to you, develop practical ways to feel calmer and steadier, strengthen your financial and emotional resilience, and begin reconnecting with yourself.
The focus gradually moves away from trying to control somebody else’s choices and back towards your own wellbeing, your confidence, your boundaries, your personal worth and the life you want to live.
Supported, structured and designed to help you feel the shift.
This isn't just a programme. It's a supported space to breathe, reset and rebuild with people who truly understand. Move through the weekly sessions with community support, practical tools and guidance all the way along.
Over 12 weeks, we'll help you calm the chaos, feel more in control, rebuild your relationship with money and reconnect with yourself again.
Funded places are available subject to eligibility.

The journey
The programme starts with what has happened around you. But the journey is about you.
For many women, gambling has gradually taken over far more than finances. It can affect sleep, trust, confidence, relationships, decision-making and the ability to relax even when nothing appears to be happening.
You may have become used to monitoring, questioning, anticipating and dealing with the next problem. Rebuild & Rise creates space to understand what that experience has done to you and to begin changing your relationship with it.
Across our first programme, women described feeling calmer, becoming more aware of their emotional responses, sleeping better, showing themselves greater compassion and feeling more able to make decisions from a steadier place.
Some began recognising that they could care about the person struggling with gambling without allowing every choice that person made to determine how they felt or lived.
That is what reclaiming your life means to us.
Not pretending the gambling did not happen. Not telling you whether to stay or leave. Not waiting for somebody else to change first. It means helping you come back to yourself.
