Their involvement helps us support SpecialEffect in not only making GameBlast15 a fun and successful event, but also in helping to raise awareness of the fantastic work that the charity does all year round. As the UK’s leading games retailer, and with most of our staff being dedicated gamers, we recognise the responsibility we have to help make gaming a hobby that is accessible to everyone. We hope all our friends and partners will join us in supporting the great work of SpecialEffect by getting involved with GameBlast15.”
