GameBlast & SpecialEffect

WHAT IS SPECIALEFFECT?

SpecialEffect are a UK-based charity who use video games and technology to enhance the quality of life of people with physical disabilities. From modified gaming controllers to eye-control systems, every system we provide is personalised. Sometimes that might mean adding voice control or a chin joystick. Or we might get the drill and soldering iron out to adapt the button positions on an existing controller!

WHAT IS GAMEBLAST?

GameBlast is the UK’s biggest annual charity gaming marathon weekend in aid of SpecialEffect. It’s the perfect way to help change the lives of disabled gamers and have a blast at the same time! Many of you will take on a gaming marathon, but if speed runs, table top games, or virtual pub quizzes are your thing, then welcome aboard! We use your GameBlast donations to help gamers with physical disabilities by finding out what they want to play, exactly what they need to play it, and then making that a reality.
