Throughout history games have had a way of bringing people together and making them feel connected. From card games to VR, gaming is an experience that transcends both physical and communication boundaries. But there are still some whose disabilities mean they are unable to experience that wonder and connection.

SpecialEffect aims to level the playing field and let everyone experience the magic and inclusion of gaming. By sponsoring our GameBlast23 Gaming marathon you’ll be helping to develop new and unique ways for people with physical disabilities to play.

Your donation helps fund the expertise, assessments, equipment and lifelong support that will bring joy, self-confidence and a degree of independence into the lives of hundreds of people.
SpecialEffect are an award-winning charity that enable people with physical disabilities to benefit from the fun and inclusion of video games and leisure technology. They support people of all ages through personalised assessments, equipment loans and equipment modifications.

People like Aaron

Who never thought he’d be able to play games again when his Muscular Dystrophy prevented him from using a controller. SpecialEffect worked with Aaron to develop a new system to meet his needs and help keep him connected to the world.

The sponsorship raised through the GameBlast weekend goes towards changing the lives of many more people through the gift of gaming fun and inclusivity.
