Story
16 of us are taking part in a Born Survivor event to fundraise for Everyone Can - an amazing Manchester based technology charity that supports every disabled person to overcome barriers and realise their potential through Electronic Assistive Technology.
By hosting weekly inclusive gaming sessions, Everyone Can makes sure everyone can get involved using assessible and bespoke solutions. Gaming is a vehicle to get people together and is a key part of childhood culture! They run their sessions for free to make sure anyone who needs their help can access it and we want to help them reach as many people as possible. Anything you can donate will be so appreciated and you can read more about their brilliant work on their website: https://everyonecan.org.uk/
