SpecialEffect Gaming Roadshows
January 2008: Mick Donegan received a cheque for £6,880 courtesy of Fox FM and the V Charity for SpecialEffect’s forthcoming Oxfordshire based Games Roadshow project.
Mick is pictured with Teresa Thompson, Charity and and Community Manager at Fox and Pete Turner, GCAP Media V Project Director.
The roadshow events will provide advice support and a chance for young people with disabilities to try out a range of empowering technology for themselves that will enable them to try and play the same games as their able bodied peers. Young volunteers will be invited from Oxfordshire universities and youth organisations to share their gaming knowledge with the disabled young people they meet and be taught about the new gaming technology by SpecialEffect's experts. It is hoped by SpecialEffect that the project will be extremely rewarding for the volunteers because they will be providing information about games that is desperately needed and will enhance the lives of the young disabled people they meet. Finally, SpecialEffect hope the events will be fun!
