DEEPLY HONEST, AN
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
PRESENTATION

We had our special star guest, the ex-professional, Premiership and International footballer John Hartson, who presented his fascinating, inspirational and deeply honest personal story. This was an absolutely amazing presentation covering a multitude of important topics and at times amusing stories and anecdotes. In a short amount of time, John managed to cover many subjects such as; success in sport, ambition, gambling addiction, cancer, resilience and recovery. He also made time to field a range of questions from the audience.

EYE-OPENING AND
DEEPLY AFFECTING

It was an eye-opening and deeply affecting afternoon, where John, joined by psychotherapist Tony Marini, spoke passionately about gambling addiction and its impact on his life.

We look forward
to building this relationship

It was a pleasure to welcome John Hartson to Parkland Place to discuss our services and the help we offer to those struggling with gambling addiction.

We look forward to building this relationship and sharing our expertise.
