Gaming for Good 2022 challenge supports Roundabout

3rd February 2022

A national gaming festival that brings together games enthusiasts from across the UK will also help provide vital support for South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout.

Gaming for Good, which runs from February 12 to 26, is organised by national movement End Youth Homelessness, a network of local charities working together to end youth homelessness on a national scale.

The charity network includes Roundabout among the groups it supports around the country, supporting vulnerable young people throughout South Yorkshire.

All games lovers need to do is pick the game of their choice and invite friends, family, colleagues and followers to join in raising money for EYH’s charities.

That can be anything from the latest Playstation hit to a classic board game like Scrabble or Monopoly - any game is good so long as the playing raises money!

“This is a great opportunity to get the gaming community together for a fantastic fundraiser,” said Events Fundraiser Emily Bush.

“Many of the young people we support will be keen gamers themselves and this is a fantastic chance to support some of the most vulnerable members of society.

“The past two years have been a challenging time for charities like Roundabout as revenues have been badly hit by the pandemic but we are now building towards a brighter future and to achieve that we need more public support than ever before.

“We’re challenging you to Game On and raise awareness and vital funds to help vulnerable young people find a safe, secure place to call home.

“So pick up your games console or your dice, start playing your favourite game and make a real difference.”
