For years, Rodney found access to video games challenging due to the restricted movement in his left hand. Then he heard about SpecialEffect, and our specialist assessment team were able to open up a whole new world of fun, inclusion and independence.

To celebrate the SpecialEffect Football Fives tournaments in London, Birmingham and Liverpool today we’re excited to premiere this insprational video featuring Rodney speaking about the impact of our help. If you’d like to support our work, you can enter a fabulous raffle running alongside the Football Fives events featuring signed football shirts and much more!

Huge thanks to Light Tone Studios for this moving video of what gaming means to Rodney. He was interviewed at Stevenage Football Club as part of an awareness campaign for SpecialEffect by the club’s partner Xsolla.
