Ep 297: The Impact of Football Untold with Beacon Counselling Trust

Jul 17, 2023, 05:00 AM

This week Mick has some brilliant news about our sister-podcast Football Untold.

Following the six-part series featuring football players sharing their stories about gambling addiction, sponsors Beacon Counselling Trust saw a 200% increase in the number of peoople coming forward to get help.

This translates as "hundreds" of men getting advice, support or therapy in regards their gambling, after hearing our players share their stories.

Mick meets Lauren Campbell from BCT to talk about the impact, why Football Untold has found an audience, and the power of people telling their stories.

You can listen to Football Untold on the dedicated website or where you get your podcasts
