24 hour SwitchUP Event · 26 April 2024

Get Well Gamers UK is a charity that takes donated video games and consoles to hospitals, hospices and other healthcare settings where gaming can provide a power up across the United Kingdom. Video games are an effective and proven pain management tool, providing entertainment during hospital stays

Story

We are SwitchUP: A society at the University of Plymouth that get together for casual gaming. Our main focus is on Nintendo consoles but we do have others during our Retro nights. We are doing a 24-hour Twitch Stream to raise money for 'Get Well Gamers'. Our stream starts at 7 pm on the 26th of April 2024. Our Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/switchup_plymouth

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 providing hospitals with video games and consoles that are donated by generous gamers across the UK.

Anyone who owns a console will undoubtedly have a stack of games that are just gathering dust. Sure, you could trade in your PS4 FIFA 18 game for £0.80 (no really, that's what you'll get) - or you could send it to us and brighten a child's experience in hospital immeasurably.
