How to get involved

Gambling Harm Awareness Week is a time to engage with the community about why gambling harm matters. The Foundation supports organisations by providing a range of resources to use with their community.

Did you know?

Gambling Harm Awareness Week will be held in Victoria from 19 to 25 October 2020.

Harm from gambling isn’t just about losing money. Gambling can affect how you feel. It can also affect your self-esteem, relationships, physical and mental health. It doesn’t matter how often or much a person gambles, the negative effects of gambling can happen to anyone.

According to research, 630,000 Victorian adults are affected by gambling harm, either their own or from someone else’s gambling.

Gambling harm is often hidden, and the effects not spoken about because it can be a sensitive issue that makes people feel uneasy. That’s why, as part of Gambling Harm Awareness Week, we’re focusing on the theme TALK. SHARE. SUPPORT.

Getting the message out

Promoting your virtual event on Facebook

Facebook is used daily by about half of Australians. You can either post on your own Facebook page or ask other organisations to post your content.

We recommend that you create a Facebook event page to promote your event. Here are some tips for creating an event page.

Through your organisation’s Facebook page:

Gambling facebook cover photos
  1. Click on “events” on the left-hand side of your page. (If “events” is not in your list of tabs you can add it by going to your organisation’s page settings, clicking “edit settings”, then scrolling to the bottom of the page to click “Add a tab” and then add “events”).
  2. Click “create event” and then fill out the details.
  3. Make sure to use an engaging photo for your main event cover image and add other photos to the page to pique interest. The cover image should be friendly, eye-catching, warm and inviting. We have prepared one for you in social media assets.
  4. Your photo will appear differently across desktop and mobile formats, so it should be 1920 x 1080 pixels (16:9 ratio) or larger with little or no text.
  5. It’s vital to ensure that no more than 20 per cent of your cover image is taken up by text. Any more than this, and your event is unlikely to be seen on people’s newsfeeds.
  6. Get people engaged. Run a Facebook poll! Make an effort to get a conversation going on the event page. The more people who comment on your event page, the greater the likely success of your event. Audiences often judge the importance of a Facebook event by their activity, so it’s important to get people involved as much as possible.
  7. After the event you can update your content and images to share your success.
