The Gamers’ Gaming Getaway believes in raising charitable funds to support good causes. Our sponsors and volunteers nominate potential charities for support each year, and then our attendees vote on which will be chosen. In 2023, attendees earnt voting meeples and dice in various ways at the event, and then allocated them to dice trays representing the different charity choices.
In 2024 we plan to raise money for Blackwell Adventure as one of the charities we support so that they can make accessibility improvements to their facilities. We will announce our other 2024 charity choices shortly before the next Gamers’ Gaming Getaway.
In 2023 our donations resulted in:
- £486 to The Honeypot Children’s Charity (most meeple votes)
- £270 to Mind (most combined dice and meeple votes after Honeypot)
In 2022 our donations resulted in:
- £812.50 to Disability Challengers
- £337.50 to The Honeypot Children’s Charity
- £187.50 to Midlands Air Ambulance
