SPECIALEFFECT ONE SPECIAL DAY
Boss Lady
- Meet the team
JOIN US IN SUPPORTING THIS BRILLIANT FUNDRAISER
Amiqus is amongst many games industry names who are uniting behind the SpecialEffect charity for the annual One Special Day fundraising campaign.
We are delighted that our very own Will Hudson is undertaking something of a painful (for him!) challenge to raise money for the charity. An ardent and lifelong Liverpool FC supporter, Will pledged to wear an Everton shirt earlier this week if he raised over £1,000 for SpecialEffect. He raised over that amount and duly wore the ‘Shirt of Hurt’. But it didn’t stop there, with Will also promising to don a Manchester United shirt on Thursday too. Stay posted for pics! And please do contribute to his Just Giving fundraiser if you can - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/will-hudson1.
Elsewhere in the industry, there’s a variety of fundraising initiatives and studio events taking place in support of One Special Day. Staff at companies including Electronic Arts, King, Third Kind Games, SEGA Hardlight, Lucid Games, Xbox, Sumo Group, Playstation London, Hutch Games, Curve and many more are looking forward to pub and studio quizzes, auctions, streams, game jams, cycle rides, runs, swims and walks and more.
At the heart of the campaign is the opportunity for gamers to raise money for the charity by purchasing and playing qualifying titles from the partner companies, who will donate some or all of the resulting revenue from the day. A wide range of titles will be available through both the One Special Day Steam Promotion, running from October 6th-9th, and the Mobile Promotion on One Special Day itself at https://bit.ly/OSDmobile.
The support of over 90 partners – and their communities – will help the thousands of people with disabilities every year who ask for the charity’s assistance.
SpecialEffect’s teams of therapists and technical specialists provide assessments and customised technology loans to help bring joy into the lives of people with disabilities. In turn, the charity pass on what they learn to help hardware and software developers make their products and games easier to use for as many people as possible all over the world.It is an incredible and hardworking charity – and one that Amiqus is very happy to support.
