It was great to visit Ladbrokes in Droitwich to take part in this year’s Grand National Charity Bet campaign, supporting a very worthwhile cause.
The campaign is a fantastic way to raise money for charity while also recognising the important role that betting and gaming businesses play in our local economy - supporting jobs, generating tax revenue, and contributing to our high streets.
The regulated gambling sector is a significant UK success story, but it’s important that it is supported in a balanced and responsible way, ensuring both strong consumer protections and a sustainable future for the industry.
I look forward to seeing how the bet gets on and, most importantly, to supporting a great local charity.
