Xmas brings gambling dangers
Parents are being urged to think about the gift of time, rather than materialistic items this Christmas. The Problem Gambling Association says it is very common for people to gamble in an attempt to get themselves enough money for presents but they often end up in a worse position. Youth Services Project team Leader Lauren Cundall says many people underestimate how valuable time spent together is. She says things such as reading stories and parents talking about how they spent Christmas as a child can mean so much more than the latest ipod or CD. Ms Cundall says homemade vouchers for something like a day at the beach, is a great idea which could create memories to last a lifetime.
