Details checked against each organisation's official website — September 2026. The round initials are our own markers to help you scan the list — they are not the organisations' logos, and no organisation listed here endorses this site. Gambling treatment in England moved to NHS England commissioning in April 2026, so some charity services may change during 2026–27; please confirm details on the official site.
