Story

William Merritt Centre is taking part in GameBlast 2021! A 24 Hour Gaming Marathon to raise money for SpecialEffect!

SpecialEffect is a charity putting fun and inclusion back into the lives of people with physical disabilities by helping them play video games to the very best of their abilities. 

From modified gaming controllers to eye-control systems, every system they provide is personalised. Sometimes this may mean adding voice control or a chin joystick. There are hundreds of potential solutions, and it’s their job to find the right one.

All of SpecialEffect services are provided free of charge, relying entirely on your generosity to keep on transforming lives by using video games and technology to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities!
