Story

After a hiatus last year, I am back fundraising for SpecialEffect as part of their GameBlast22 fundraiser.

There are three fundraising activities that I will be running:

  1. I will be hosting a board game afternoon at my workplace (COVID-19 restrictions permitting).
  2. I will be undertaking a Hardspace:Shipbreaker gaming challenge on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/fluffybunesq over the GameBlast weekend.
  3. I will be baking and selling cakes for the local humanist group in Gloucestershire.

It is a real privilege to be able to raise funds for this wonderful charity, and your support towards my fundraiser would be greatly appreciated.

SpecialEffect are transforming the lives of people with physical challenges right across the world through the innovative use of technology. At the core of this mission is their work to optimise inclusion, enjoyment, and quality of life by helping people control video games to the best of their abilities for as long as needed. The SpecialEffect team, comprising occupational therapists and gaming specialists in the UK, create bespoke control setups for hundreds of individuals each year, while their R&D team use what they learn in the field to develop freely-available resources and solutions to help level the playing field for gamers with physical challenges all over the world.
