Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm participating in a charity boxing match in December and as part of that i've chosen to raise money for Game Therapy UK which helps vulnerable people tackle loneliness and social isolation through TTRPG's such as DnD.

Game therapy is similar to Drama Therapy in that players can act out scenarios in a safe, controlled, psychologically informed environment to facilitate creativity, imagination, learning, insight, and growth.

However, it differs from traditional Drama Therapy in that it uses collaborative Table Top Role Playing Games (TTRPGs), such as 'Dungeons & Dragons’ type games or video games, to intentionally achieve these therapeutic goals.

And you get to play a game. So it's fun.

You can also purchase tickets to come and see the event in December in Warrington.
