Story

I am raising funds for SpecialEffect, an amazing charity, who bring the joy of gaming and technology to everybody.

Fundraising endeavours will include running a "Nearest The Bull quiz" at work (with prizes for those that are the closest), and undertaking a streaming challenge over February 21-23.

This will be my seventh year as part of Digital Rogues, a stream team originally formed for GameBlast 2016. We aren't huge in numbers but we are in our efforts and we have proudly raised over £11,000 for SpecialEffect over the last 10 years.

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. Their team of 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 is 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.

This mission of inclusion extends beyond gaming, whether that’s by using eye-gaze technology to bring communication, independence, and hope for people in intensive care units with a severe injury or illness, or by using telepresent robots to reconnect medically isolated children with their education and friends. SpecialEffect are committed to making life better for the people that need us, for as long as possible.
