About Us
We're giving everyone the opportunity to benefit from video games, regardless of any disability.
For many people, the majority of video games are simply too quick or too difficult to play. What we do is offer the advice and loan equipment that will enable them to enjoy the benefits of games to the very best of their abilities.
We’ll do whatever it takes, because we’ve seen first-hand what a kick-start effect games can have on rehabilitation, inclusion and quality of life.
