Play YOUR way!

GameBlast is your chance to celebrate the magic of everything gaming, whether it’s by playing video games together, getting creative on your Twitch or YouTube channel, organising a friends and family board game marathon, holding a gaming themed bake sale or quiz, or maybe taking on a timed cosplay build challenge.

All that we ask is that you have a fantastic time raising money for a fantastic cause, and we’re here to help with your GameBlast fundraising inspiration all the way! There’s a big GameBlast25 welcome waiting for you over and around the weekend of 27 February – 1 March.

Get your company involved

So many options! GameBlast offers an incredibly inclusive and creative work fundraiser opportunity to bring gamers and non-gamers together through gaming marathons, art competitions, challenge events and match-funded donations.

The benefits for your organisation are huge as well. It’s a perfect fit for local media promotion, community involvement, networking and partnership links. Corporate GameBlast events over the years have encompassed all-staff 24 hour gaming festivals, livestreams, firewalks, gunge-baths and a whole host of game related forfeit challenges.

Thank you for being amazing!

You’ve raised over £1.5 million over a decade of gameblasting, enabling thousands of disabled gamers all over the world – like Arlo and Lucy – to experience the magic, fun and inclusion of video games.

As Shaz, a gamer we’ve supported, put it: “When they help you play for the first time after 24 years, it’s hard to put those feelings into words.”

We can’t thank you enough!
