EPIC Restart Foundation is a UK registered charity (no. 1192907) that provides free, lived-experience recovery support to people rebuilding their lives after gambling harm.[1]
What is EPIC Restart Foundation
EPIC Restart Foundation is a UK registered charity (charity no. 1192907) dedicated to helping people rebuild their lives after gambling harm. It was founded by EPIC Global Solutions - whose CEO, Paul Buck, has personal experience of gambling harm - and launched in 2021. The charity operates across the UK.
The charity is distinct from treatment providers: it focuses specifically on post-treatment and long-term recovery - the period after someone has stopped gambling but faces ongoing challenges such as debt, damaged relationships, mental health difficulties, isolation, and risk of relapse.

Within the gambling support sector, the EPIC Restart Foundation bridges the gap between clinical treatment and long-term life recovery.[2] It works alongside treatment providers to offer post-treatment, person-centered support. By focusing on employability, relationship building and mental resilience, the charity plays a crucial role in preventing relapse and breaking the cycle of gambling harm.[3]
