Story
Each year, 15belowers take on the tough challenge of staying awake for 24 hours in aid of our chosen charity.
But it's not just a case of staying awake, they must focus their energy on a whole host of games for these 24 hours too - whether it's PC games, console games, board games, card games and some gaming competitions too.
Our chosen charity this year is BHT Sussex who are a local charity supporting the homeless community. Unfortunately, homelessness is a big issue in Brighton and is seen every day around the city centre. BHT Sussex provide essential services as well as working to tackle the causes of homelessness, poverty and marginalisation. 15below has been supporting them before and throughout the global pandemic, where extra support has been needed.
In previous years, 15below's 24 hour Gameathons have raised:
- £1,284 in 2016
- £2,297 in 2017
- £3,389 in 2018
- £3,059 in 2019
- ?????? in 2022
The 15belowers will be back in the Brighton office on 28th October in the hope of exceeding these totals, so every little donation helps them towards this goal!
Thank you so much for reading and for supporting 15below with its' mission to help BHT Sussex!
