Story
Game On! is the annual streamed gaming fundraiser, helping raise awareness and vital funds for Naomi House & Jacksplace. Participants stream to their communities, taking on challenges whilst sharing the story of the charity and raising money for the hospices.
This year the event is supported by the leading publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, Outright Games.
Game On! is not just another gaming stream. Gaming is an incredibly important part of daily life for many of the children and young adults supported by Naomi House & Jacksplace.
“Video games can provide a sense of achievement and social connection, which are important for mental health and well-being.” - Dr. Jane McGonigal, University of California, Berkeley
Naomi House & Jacksplace are hospices supporting life-limited and life-threatened children, young adults and their families from across the central South of England.

Jacksplace is the only hospice for young adults in the South of England. The medical and care teams offer specialist care, often over many years, and uphold the dignity and independence of young adults accessing the service.
