Help Us Build the All-Access Games Hub

Together, We Can Create a Safe Space for Connection

Imagine a place where everyone feels welcome—a space designed for individuals facing social isolation to connect, unwind, and thrive. That’s what we’re building with the All-Access Games Hub: a community space centered around the joy and inclusivity of board gaming and crafting.

For too many, traditional social spaces feel overwhelming, inaccessible, or unwelcoming. This leaves many people feeling isolated, especially those living with mental health challenges. Our hub will break down these barriers and create a safe, sensory-friendly environment where everyone can come together and be themselves.

Why This Matters:

Board games are more than just games—they’re tools for connection, creativity, and joy. At the All-Access Games Hub, we will:

* Combat Isolation: Provide a welcoming space where individuals can meet, play, and connect.

*Support Mental Health: Create a low-pressure, judgment-free environment that encourages relaxation and confidence.

*Promote Inclusivity: Offer sensory-friendly adaptations, quiet zones, and staff trained to support neurodivergence and anxiety.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

We need to raise £50,000 by December 2025 to make this vision a reality. Your donation will help us:

*Secure a physical space for the hub; a dedicated warm space with access to hot and cold drinks.

*Create a sensory-friendly environment with quiet rooms, adjustable lighting, and low-stimulation areas.

*Build a library of inclusive board games and crafting materials that everyone can enjoy.

*Train staff and volunteers to ensure a welcoming and supportive experience for all.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to creating a space where everyone belongs.

Your Impact

By donating to the All-Access Games Hub, you’re doing more than funding a project—you’re helping to build a community that celebrates and supports those who are often overlooked. Together, we can provide a sanctuary where people can rediscover joy, connection, and the simple power of play.
