GambleAware CEO Zoë Osmond has been awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the UK’s New Year’s Honours List for 2025.
In a statement on its website, the gambling support charity explained that Osmond has received an OBE for services to tackling gambling harms.
Osmond has been working with GambleAware for over six years, previously serving as a Campaign Advisor from September 2018, before becoming CEO of the charity in April 2021.
“I am deeply humbled and honoured to receive this OBE,” stated Osmond.
“This is recognition of the tireless efforts of the whole team at GambleAware, our partners, and the wider lived experience community who have shared their personal stories and insights with the hope of reducing gambling-related harm across Great Britain.”
Osmond continued: “I am privileged to lead an organisation that is committed to supporting those affected by gambling harms, raising awareness, and driving meaningful change.
“As we enter a new year, we must continue to work together, strengthen our efforts, and ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the help and support they need.
“I dedicate this award to those who have been affected by gambling harms, whose resilience continues to inspire us every day, and to all the individuals and organisations working alongside us to prevent gambling harm.”
