Ygam

Who we are

Who are we?

Ygam is an award-winning charity whose vision is to ensure that every child and young person is resilient to, and safeguarded against, gaming and gambling harms.

Our Mission is to prevent children and young people from experiencing gaming and gambling harms through awareness raising, education and research.

As we embark upon an exciting new three-year strategy, this is a great opportunity to play an active part in shaping the future of Ygam.

Why choose Ygam?

Ygam has grown quickly over the last few years and continues that sustainable growth plan, with more recruitment planned during 2024.  Ygam currently employs around 50 staff, but we expect to be circa 60 staff by the end of 2024.  

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At Ygam, we are committed to safeguarding and protection of children and vulnerable people in our work. We will do everything possible to recruit only suitable people to work with children or vulnerable people.

Ygam is an equal opportunity employer. It is Ygam's approach that all employees have a working environment which promotes dignity and respect, and where individual differences, and the contributions made are recognised and valued. 

We welcome the unique contributions that you can bring and encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply to join our team, including people with lived experience of gaming and gambling harms, people with disabilities, people from minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ people, neurodivergent people and armed force veterans.
