Story

Thousands of people want to share your passion for video games, but their disabilities stop them playing the titles we all know and love.

You can change lives this February by signing-up for GameBlast19, the UK's biggest charity gaming weekend in support of SpecialEffect! All the money you raise will help us to continue finding new ways for people with disabilities to play again. You'll be funding the expertise, equipment and lifelong support that will bring fun, inclusion and joy into the lives of gamers everywhere.

If you're passionate about games, join us for GameBlast19 and help us level the gaming playing field for everyone!
