Gaming for Good
Your gaming or streaming event can raise vital funds in aid of our cause. Supporting Adventure Therapy means you will be providing life‑changing outdoor adventures for children, young people and adults with complex needs.
You can use Twitch, YouTube Live or Facebook to connect your stream and social feeds to a Tiltify campaign and immediately accept donations or join STREAM ON!, on JustGiving. You can also create milestones, polls and rewards to really make the most of your fundraising.
Turn pixels into real world adventures!
It's your chance to play the games you love and raise vital funds than unlock real-world adventures for people who need them.
Run a charity stream, host a friendly tournament, attempt a challenge or set a 24-hour relay with your crew.
If you're not a video gamer there are other ways you can stream content and have fun. While you're broadcasting your challenge you can also raise vital funds for our cause - and transform the lives of children, young people and adults who face their own unique challenges, every day.
Streaming something you're interested in and showcasing your talents offers freedom to your fundraising.
Your audience could be watching your stream from the other side of the world and be able to join your event. They could be anywhere, anyone and have a huge potential to raise money and transform life through adventure.

Your wellbeing
As a charity supporting positive mental health, we champion time spent outdoors in nature and adventure; away from screens and excessive digital consumption. We want a world of digital literacy - not digital dependency. However, video games and streaming are part of everyday life for so many people and in moderation, can aid relaxation and mental wellbeing.
It's all about balance, so please look after yourself and those around you and consider the following, when taking part in any gaming or streaming fundraiser.
- Choose your privacy settings carefully to control who can see your activity and interact with you.
- For marathon sessions, take part in a relay.
- Be respectful and report any abusive behaviour you encounter.
- Never share personal details (e.g. your full name, address or phone number).
- Sit in a comfortable position, a suitable distance from your screen.
- Keep hydrated - and snacks, handy!
- Plan breaks and move and stretch, to feel refreshed and focused.
- If you don't feel comfortable showing your face on screen you could consider a unique username and avatar instead of personal photos.
- Only play age-appropriate games and if you are under 18, register via your parent or guardian.
- Please also consider the reputation of our charity at all times, playing games that don't promote violence and by using appropriate language and behaviour.
