The average budget that a children's ward in the UK will receive for purchasing video games and consoles is £0.

Get Well Gamers exists to fill that gap by supplying hospitals, hospices, and other healthcare settings with donated video games and consoles. For children and young people going through difficult times, games provide more than just entertainment — they offer comfort, distraction, and a way to connect.

Anyone who’s spent time in front of a screen, whether solving problems, navigating challenges, or simply immersing themselves in another world, knows their value. It can sharpen the mind, reduce stress, and give us the freedom to explore possibilities. For a child in hospital, those moments of escape and joy can make a huge difference.

That’s why we’re fundraising: to help bring more games to more children who need them. Every donation goes toward levelling up hospital wards with consoles and games, making long days a little brighter and a little more fun.
