UK games industry charity GamesAid has raised £70,000 ($84,985) and split the donation among seven different organizations.
The donation was presented to the following charities; Access Sport Trust, Autistica, The Clock Tower Sanctuary, Lifelites, Everyone Can, Solving Kids Cancer and MAPS.
The aid group has also recently appointed two new trustees to its board: Studio Gobo & Electric Square s Terry Haynes and Ukie s George Osborn. Over the past year, I ve spoken with so many different charities who ve turned to games as a way to keep themselves going during an unimaginably tough year, said George Osborn. I ve joined GamesAid as a trustee to do what I can to continue to support this essential work and continue to demonstrate the decent, kindhearted nature of the UK games industry to the wider world.
