Obviously everyone’s safety is their priority so they’ve had to make changes to the event to ensure they can adhere to social distancing. But the aims are still the same, a 24-hour gaming marathon to raise funds to help disabled people game together! In previous years they’ve opened the centre for 24 hours and welcomed anyone that wanted to join them in their gaming marathon, whether it be for 24 minutes or 24 hours! It’s turned into a bit of a party with gaming storm troopers, competitions, face painters and lots of cake! They’ve raised money by streaming the full 24 hours on their Twitch channel, receiving donations from people coming to the centre and holding an awesome raffle!
Take a nosey what happened last year and why you should support this awesome event…
This year Game Together will be held from 10am on Saturday 26th September – 10am on Sunday 27th September! But due to the limited capacity and social distancing they’re sadly unable to hold a big party this year and that’s why they need your help more than ever to ensure they can raise much needed funds! There are still a number of ways in which you can get involved…
- Stream! If you’re a streamer and love gaming why not set yourself a challenge that weekend and do a charity stream for Everyone Can! They don’t expect you to do the full 24 hours just any contribution would make a huge difference. They have everything you need in their streaming pack from Twitch overlays, logos, photos and videos so just get in touch to register!
- Come & game at the centre with their team for 24 hours! Spaces are limited & gamers will need to raise a minimum of £240 in sponsorship – you’ll receive a Game Together t-shirt, plenty of food & 24 hours of gaming on a wide range of equipment!
- Donate and support their stream! The staff will be gaming for 24 hours so any support and donations they can get are sure to keep them motivated! Watch their stream here over the Game Together weekend: twitch.tv/everyonecanuk
If you want to stream or come to the centre, you will need to set up a Just Giving page and email them on contact@everyonecan.org.uk to receive a fundraising and streaming pack!
