Hi everyone,

We’ve just launched Beyond the Bet – a new community project based in Newcastle upon Tyne that supports people affected by gambling. Whether it’s someone looking to cut back, stop entirely, or just find better ways to spend their time and money, we’re here to offer something different.

We organise local meetups, events, and activity-based alternatives during key times like match days – when gambling is most tempting. Our aim is simple: to make weekends feel good again without the need for a bet.

We’re currently looking for:

New members in and around Newcastle upon Tyne who want support or a social alternative to betting

Activity-based businesses interested in partnering with us for monthly funded events

Donations or sponsorship to help fund experiences and keep everything free to access in our first year

If you or someone you know would benefit from this, or if you’re a business that shares our values, we’d love to hear from you.

You can follow us on Instagram: @beyondthebetuk Or drop us a message here. We’re open, approachable, and just getting started.

Thanks for reading, The BTB Team
