A huge thank you to NatWest<\/a> for supporting us through sales of the expansion pack for their Island Saver<\/a> game. In the last year it\u2019s resulted in total donations of nearly \u00a375,000, a huge boost to our work in transforming the lives of physically disabled people right across the world through the innovative use of technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The UK charities SpecialEffect and\u00a0Young Money<\/a> are beneficiaries of the game, which has been developed by Stormcloud Games<\/a>. It\u2019s NatWest\u2019s first ever educational video game which harnesses children\u2019s enthusiasm for video games as an opportunity to teach them about money management.<\/p>\n

The core game, available for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam for PC, is free to download and there are no in-game purchases. The \u2018Dinosaur Island\u2019 expansion pack can be bought for \u00a34 and net proceeds generated from the sale of the expansion packs will be donated to Young Money and SpecialEffect. NatWest will not receive any profit from the sale of the expansion packs.<\/p>\n

Tom Donegan, Fundraising and Communications Team Leader at SpecialEffect, said, \u201cWe get to see the positive impact of gaming every day through our work helping people with physical disabilities to enjoy the magic of video games. We’re delighted to be a beneficiary of this innovative new project and want to take this opportunity to thank Natwest and Stormcloud for their support.\u201d<\/p>\n
