Story
Game For Change is a fundraising event for all gamers, no matter your experience, equipment, or ability.
Whether you are a casual or competitive gamer, solo player or livestreamer this is the fundraising event for you.
At SeeAbility we encourage people with autism and learning disabilities who may also have sight loss to challenge what they expect from life, from themselves and from wider society.
For many gamers, particularly autistic gamers, multi-player online games can offer a less stressful social environment and can develop valuable skills like communication and problem-solving.
We feel passionate that as well as fundraising this event highlights the importance of accessibility and inclusion in the gaming world.

Gaming with disabilities
Worldwide more and more people are spending time in the digital world and as a charity, we want to ensure that people with learning disabilities, autism and sight loss are able to do the same.
Research has shown people with particular accessibility needs do face barriers when gaming. Assistive technology is available but can be costly and information about accessibility for particular games is limited.
Taking part in Game For Change not only raises vital funds for SeeAbility, enabling people to live full lives; but also allows us to continue to create an inclusive and accessible world.
