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.

Let us know about your challenge

We'd love to hear what you’ve got planned and help however we can. If you could fill out this form we can work out how best to support you.

If you have any questions drop us a line by email streaming@combatstress.com or join our Combat Stress Discord channel and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Please note, we are not affiliated with our live streamers and nor do we endorse them.
