The café provides community based support for people recovering from addiction
The Gambling Awareness Trust (GAT), an independent charity established in 2018, has helped provide funds to establish a "Recovery Cafe" for recovering addicts in Newbridge.
Newbridge FRC, a community-based support service will provide a ‘Recovery Café’ for those in recovery from addiction.
GAT is a grant-making and distribution body, which has provided a €13,000 grant for Newbridge FRC.
It works in partnership with other organisations, agencies, and experts to help reduce and prevent gambling-related harm with a specific focus on the areas of prevention, treatment and supports, education and research.
GAT is funded by contributions from the retail and online betting industry in Ireland through a social responsibility fund.
