About the challenge
Gaming for veterans' mental health
Gaming for charity is a great way to do something you love while supporting a cause you care about. And it’s easy to get fundraising through gaming – with lots of ways you can get involved.
Whether it’s a solo session or a group quest, be part of the ultimate gaming mission and help change veterans’ lives by fundraising through gaming.
You could take on a sponsored tournament with your friends. Make it through a gaming marathon. Complete a gaming relay. Stream it online or play at home.
Just organise your own gaming event, at your own convenience, and raise funds while you game. Whether you’re a pro-gamer or levelling up, we can provide you with everything you need on your quest to support veterans through gaming.
We need your help to change the lives of every veteran affected by complex mental health problems.
