Visit to Changing Futures
Last night myself, Mark, Christian and Thomas Black (one of
the Student Ambassadors) visited Changing Futures Hartlepool to find out more
about what the charity does for the young people of Hartlepool.
Whilst we were
there we told the group about the Gamecon, which we are hosting for the third
year in a row –this year!
We brought along the arcade cabinet that a few of the
students made last year for the group to try and beat one another’s score on
Sonic the Hedgehog.
Followed by a few games on the Nintendo Switch, which
seemed to be a hit amongst the group! It was a very interesting night finding
out about where the money we raise by doing the Gamecon goes and meeting the people
it benefits.
This year the Gamecon will be held on Wednesday 31st
May – Friday 2nd June.
It is £1 entry and all
proceeds will go to Changing Futures –
helping them work with individuals, families and communities
in the country.
This year
Gamecon is going to be bigger and better than
before with more consoles than
before! Stalls from local
businesses and universities…
Come along and
help us raise money for a worthy cause!
