Gaming for Good exists to bring people

THE MISSION

Gaming for Good is a way to build community and raise awareness around issues of social isolation, which we help tackle at the Benjamin Foundation. Last year, our Youth and Community services supported over 300 young people, providing opportunities for young people to forge friendships, meet new people and develop new hobbies. Funds raised through our campaign will go directly towards supporting these indispensable services, as we aim to continue the same mission of bringing people together through Gaming for Good.

“I do enjoy gaming and it’s very popular amongst my friends as it’s something that we can all connect through...”
