Prof. Siân Griffiths CBE, Chair of trustees for GambleAware said:

“As Chair of trustees for GambleAware, I send my sincere congratulations to Baroness Hilary Armstrong on her appointment as Chair of the Government’s newly formed Digital Inclusion Action Committee. This is a vastly important role, and one which Baroness Armstrong will bring immense expertise and insight to. 

“Recognising the importance of Hilary’s new position, I have accepted her resignation from the GambleAware board of trustees with immediate effect.

 “I would like to take this opportunity to share my most heartfelt thanks to Hilary for her hard work and commitment to addressing gambling harm since she joined GambleAware’s Board in 2021. While we appreciate that she will be unable to continue in her role as trustee for GambleAware, we are pleased to have her continued interest and support in addressing gambling harms. 

“Hilary has had a significant impact on the charity over the years. Myself and all those at GambleAware are immensely grateful for her support. We wish her all the best in her new role.”
