From 5-20th April games nights all over Bristol will raise money for the youth charity 1625 People.
Cafes, bars and games shops all over Bristol will host games nights this Easter to help end youth homelessness in the charity 1625 People’s ‘gaming for good’ campaign.
1625 People works with young people facing homelessness to give them the support they need to “be the best they can be”, whether that be finding them a place to stay or providing them with essential skills training. Their “gaming for good” campaign urges people to “play for a cause” and donate.
Venues all over Bristol will host games nights from the 5th to the 20th April to raise money for the chairity. Events range from a “Buddy Up!” social gaming night at Replay, a popular board games cafe, to a Mario kart tournament at Kongs, the King’s Street institution .
1625 People run 3 supported housing projects and 270 bed spaces in the South West and Bristol for young people in need of accommodation. They are restoring the Grade II listed Kingsley Hall on Old Market Street into a hub for support and training, hoping to create a “welcoming, safe space(s) where young people can overcome isolation, improve their mental wellbeing and create connections.”
So get gaming! See the full list of gaming for good events on 1625 People’s site here!
