Everyone Can is a fantastic charity full of lovely people who help others with disabilities to improve their quality of life through the power of technology.
Rich is VERY Proud Of His Game Together Tee 💙
When I heard about this fantastic charity and was asked if Games Freezer would support it by doing a gaming marathon at this year's Game Together event I obviously said yes to such a fantastic cause.
By playing Elden Ring across the weekend of the Game Together 2022 event we raised a whopping £180 for this charity and we are proud that we were able to make a small difference to this worthy charity who do so much good.

The Everyone Can team can use these funds to assist in using TRAINING AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY to HELP DISABLED PEOPLE SPEAK, LIVE INDEPENDENTLY, CONTROL THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND HAVE FUN!
How awesome is that and what a great mission statement!
One of the most interesting examples of the work that Everyone Can do is the story of Kian:
"Not all disabilities are visible and to look at 14-year-old Kian you would be forgiven if you didn’t realise the struggles he has faced and still faces to this day.
However, thanks to the dedicated work that Everyone Can has provided, Kian now has a place he feels safe enough to begin to challenge himself and engage in his community.
The staff at 'Everyone Can' will never forget the first time they met Kian, we greeted him with a smile and a hello and you could see the fear on his face as he hid behind his mother.
Little did we know at that point he had been hyperventilating outside before coming in.
This lovely child had lost trust in everyone apart from his parents. His mother, Serena, didn’t expect him to stay long but with some encouragement and reassurance, he sat down and played a game and since then, Kian has never looked back.
It may have taken little steps and some days he would need some extra reassurance from staff or a quiet room to sit in but now Kian loves the centre and looks forward to coming every week."
