Numskull and Bossa Studios are supporting the Stand Up for GamesAid comedy event coming this May 9th. GamesAid’s funniest night, Stand Up for GamesAid, is reaching for another magnificent triumph with a first class lineup and drum-rolling hype. It’s no wonder tickets are already flying fast.
GamesAid’s charity work received a major boost after Green Man Gaming today announced that it had raised over £30,000 for GamesAid.
Eurogamer:
GamesAid is an umbrella charity we care about because it belongs to and is propelled by everyone working in the UK games industry. We direct our fundraising and support towards GamesAid which then divides the money across a selection of charities focused on helping disadvantaged and disabled young people.
We, personally, donate gifts we're sent so they can be sold at auction, and if we happen to be running a marathon (why did I sign up for that?!) or doing a Tough Mudder or any kind of fundraising event, we tend to put GamesAid on our bib. As does everyone else, be they developer, PR, games shop, journalist and so on.
The games industry is quietly philanthropic. This feature for 360 Gamer (issue 126) highlights the great things game charities do to give children with physical and mental disabilities the opportunity to play the videogames they love. This is a sample of the portfolio of work by Dean Samways.
