It wasn’t just a night dedicated to innovation. Another strong bond was celebrated, together with values of inclusion and confidence.

The organisation played an emotional and intense video to show guests the amazing work done by volunteers using video games.
The power of  games and interactive entertainment goes beyond the joy that video games could bring. As the people at Special Effect demonstrate, they can also have a deep positive impact on therapy, confidence and rehabilitation.
