Get your game on whilst funding childhood cancer research

What is Game Changers?

For many children, gaming can be a great source of comfort and a much needed escape from reality from the hospital during treatment. Being able to have gaming available to them during treatment, children can keep connected to their friends and still have the fun they deserve. By livestreaming your gaming activities for Children with Cancer UK, you will get to show solidarity with children through a difficult part of their lives, whilst also raising awareness of childhood cancer.

 

What activities can I do whilst livestreaming my games?

Make your Game Changers event even more special with one of these additional ideas:

  • Make the Children with Cancer UK logo within your chosen game
  • Make up fundraising incentives to get people to donate
  • Set a timed challenge
  • Game with others

Hear from our patient families on what gaming means to them

Whilst having cancer, I would never let it bring my mood down. However, playing games allowed me to escape the reality of the real world. Some of the game I would partake in playing are Disney Infinity, Minecraft, Marvel Lego superheroes and Roblox. However, I have more fun with my family, who have always cheered me on and I am healthy and more cheerful.

I love playing Roblox and Fortnite online with my friends, it makes me feel really happy and safe. When I’m worried, I can switch off and relax in a different world.

So…how do I get involved?
