New data from GambleAware highlights a return to pre-pandemic rates of gambling

A new campaign encourages adults to contact The National Gambling Treatment Service (NGTS) for a range of free, anonymous support services to combat gambling problems

The service has shown to be effective for 9 out of 10 people who complete the treatment

57% of people struggling with gambling admit that they need help tackling their gambling-related issues

New data released by GambleAware has revealed that since the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, there has been a rise in the levels of gambling in the UK that has seen the rate return to pre-pandemic levels.

To combat this rise, the charity are launching their latest campaign to raise awareness of the support and treatment options available through the National Gambling Treatment Service (NGTS), a service that GambleAware believe could help over one-million people in the UK combat gambling harms.

The NGTS works in partnership with the NHS and other organisations, to offer free and confidential support for those concerned about issues relating to gambling and delivers help via telephone, online, face-to-face, group and residential therapy.

Over half (57%) of people struggling with gambling admit that they need help tackling their gambling-related issues. Last year alone, the NGTS helped over 8,500 individuals, however, GambleAware believe that over 160 times more people could benefit from accessing treatment.

1 person every hour currently contacts the NGTS for support - with the treatment on offer shown to be effective for nine out of 10 people.

The campaign coincides with the publication of new data from GambleAware's annual Treatment and Support Survey, which highlights both the significant and varied impact gambling has on people across Great Britain, as well as some of the motivations for accessing help.

Almost a quarter of people (23.3%) signal that concern regarding their mental health is the main factor for seeking support to tackle a gambling-related issue, with 21% saying that anxiety over finances is the motivation for them to pursue support.

Michael E. Nolan was born in Royal Oak, Michigan, but grew up in Columbus, Ohio. He is the son of an Irish-American sailor who married a beautiful Puerto Rican from a good family. His dad would spend a few decades, after leaving the Navy and having a stint at the University of Michigan, engaged in various creative entrepreneurial endeavours until he eventually became a farrier, invented the Nolan Hoof Plate, and enjoyed some modest success towards the end of his days. The entrepreneurial roller coaster of his father’s life, however, was offset by Michael’s mother who provided the family with some stability through her own employment at the Ohio State University and the support of her family back in Puerto Rico.

Once he turned eighteen, Michael joined the military as an infantryman and eventually served in the Marine Corps, Marine Corps Reserves, and the Army National Guard between the years 1990 to 2016. During his military service, he participated in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Operation Provide Promise/Deny Flight, and United Nations Operation Somalia with 1st Battalion, 8th Marines. With the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines he participated in Joint Task Force Six along the U.S.-Mexican border. He also did two tours in Iraq, first with the 1452nd Transportation Company in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 04-05, and then with the 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 07-08. His military decorations include the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Achievement Medal (3 awards), Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal (7 awards), and the Combat Infantryman’s Badge among others.

During this time, Michael graduated magna cum laude in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Franklin University. He also holds a Master of Business Administration degree (2006) from the University of Phoenix as well as a Master of Science degree in National Resource Strategy (2013) from The Eisenhower School at National Defense University where Michael was an Afghanistan/Pakistan Fellow and a member of the Land Combat Systems industry study. He also has almost twenty years of civilian service in both the defence and intelligence arenas that included roles as the Chief Financial Officer for the standup of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency as well as a Senior Advisor to the Ministry of Defense of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Having been raised by an entrepreneur and seeing first-hand how to start, build, and eventually sell a business, Michael was always tinkering with businesses of his own. This ranged from ventures as diverse as farrier services to a business brokerage. Michael’s passion, however, always seemed to lie with financial related endeavours. He found success helping clients in both real estate and as a foreign exchange proprietary trader before settling into the management of his own portfolio and shifting his attention to writing. Now, Michael focuses his time and efforts on producing high-quality content focused on the warrior tradition.

When he’s not working, Michael enjoys spending time practising the martial arts. He is a lifelong martial artist having studied various arts from all over the world but focusing his efforts primarily on the Chinese martial arts. He studied Wing Chun and Tai Chi from Dr Fred Ming-An Wu starting in 1983 until Dr Wu’s death in 2000, excepting periods of military service. Currently, Michael studies Shuai Chiao in Northern Virginia under Master Nick Masi, a student of Dr Daniel Chi-hsiu Weng, himself a top disciple of the world-renowned Grandmaster Chang Tung-Sheng.

The Nifty Way Galaxy is a collection of 10k unique NFTs, completely out of this world, hosted on the ETH Blockchain.

The Nifties are huge fans of our human race and they’re trying their best to dress and look like us... Now, they're ready for the first contact.

Each Alien has a unique ID that comes with a bunch of great benefits that makes you part of the coolest and unique civilization in the universe.

In a galaxy far, far away, named The Nifty Way, an advanced Alien civilization, The Nifties, have been watching us for thousands of years. They’ve become huge fans of the human race since they started intercepting all of our music, tv, movies, games and everything related to our culture.

By 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, the first attempt to meet us failed when the government captured several Nifties and held them in Area 69. Since then, they have been afraid of getting in touch with us, so now they make quick visits to our planet stealing souvenirs.

From then on, they’ve been trying their best to dress and behave like us, making sure we will like them when it's time to finally meet them. Now, they’re ready to meet us.

I completed my MBA-Finance in 2015 and started working as an investment analyst for some 3 years, after which I moved to work as a consultant at KPMG.

In 2018, I quit my job and opened a small investment firm (managing ~ $2 M) but during the same time I was struggling with extreme anxiety & other health issues. This greatly impacted my sleep and I went into a downward spiral trying to manage my business & health.

In 2019 I started reading about ancient ways to overcome these issues as I am someone who feels that modern medicines are somewhat regressive when it comes to chronic issues. I started practising Yoga and digging deeper into ancient spiritual & yogic texts. It took me some 3 months to reverse the ill-impact of my "corporate hangover" of 4 years.

In 2020 I started teaching yogic sciences (Ayurveda, Yoga & Dhayana = deeper form of meditation) in schools & NGOs (helping > 350 individuals) and am now trying to reach out to more people with my 108-Day Holistic Healing Online Program.
