Games Aid is a UK Games Industry Charity designed to support smaller charities through a variety of efforts. As an umbrella company, Games Aid supports a number of smaller charities who help disadvantaged and disabled children and young people.
Funds are raised in a variety of manners, including:
- Industry activities, such as social or sporting events
- Individual and corporate donations and memberships
- Game compilations sold at retail
- Digital download bunldes
- Sales of donated games memorabilia on eBay
These are but the tip of the iceberg as Games Aid is willing to raise funds in any way possible and are willing to accept any ideas presented to them. Every year Games Aid publishes a report at the end of the year that details all of the funds raised and where they were donated.
