There are so many ways to fundraise while gaming. Take a look at our list of ideas and inspiration, and choose how you want to fundraise - whether that's through a charity tournament or a skill swap, any funds you raise will help keep our life-saving service open.
🎮 Charity Tournaments
Hold or join a fundraising tournament, competing to win and fundraising for Shout
👾 Game nights
Gather your friends and family and hold a gaming night online or in person. Take a small donation for participation
🕹️ Skill swap or coaching
Skilled in a specific game? Offer short coaching lessons in exchange for a small donation
👾 Themed quiz night
Hold a quiz night with friends and family. You could theme the questions around a specific game or topic you love!
🕹️ Sponsored gaming events
If you take part in Esports events, consider setting up a fundraiser on Tiltify and using the competition to raise awareness and funds for Shout
🎮 Game-a-thon
Pick a game and decide on your challenge. Maybe set yourself an achievement or milestone goal in-game! Have a Twitch account? Consider streaming it!
However you choose to fundraise, we're here to support you. Let us know if you'd like to discuss your fundraiser, and head to Tiltify to set up a page.
It doesn't matter how large or small your fundraising target is - just £10 can cover the cost of a potentially life saving conversation for someone in need of support.
Playing games can be positive to our mental health by giving us time to relax and to connect with others. Still, it's important to look ourselves yourself while gaming.
We love this advice from Mind on how to game safely and healthily.
Remember, you don't need to complete your challenge or event for Shout in one go. Take breaks to move your body, go outside and to be offline. Reserve time to take care of yourself while you game.
If you're looking for an opportunity to build your portfolio and support our life-saving service, we'd love to hear from you. We want to partner with you to fundraise, create content and share your work on our platforms.
Suzanne was drawn to Shout's accessibility and confident her gaming community could make a difference. Her week-long fundraiser raised an incredible £900 for our life-saving service.
Whether you're a pro gamer or having a go for the first time, there's lots of ways to turn a fun night in with friends into a successful fundraiser.
