The third annual Get Together Through Gaming event is fast approaching. We can’t wait to welcome you to this exciting celebration of community, wellbeing, and the power of gaming!
This year, GTTG will be taking place 14-16 March. We’ll be bringing people together for a weekend of connection, fun, and meaningful conversations –all with the shared belief that gaming and community can make a positive impact on our mental health.
What is Get Together Through Gaming?
Get Together Through Gaming is about bringing people together for a weekend of gaming and streaming, all to raise money for mental health services in Leeds and West Yorkshire. Over the course of the event, we’ll be hosting livestreams from streamers and gaming enthusiasts playing some of the most-loved games.
Gaming isn’t just about playing – it’s about connecting, growing, and finding balance in our busy lives. With this in mind, we’ll be having conversations about mental health and wellbeing while we play, and raising money to support our services.
We started Get Together Through Gaming in 2023, in partnership with Few and Far.
Why Is This Important?
Our hobbies are an import outlet, and gaming is no exception. For many, the gaming community offers a safe space for connection and support. It’s a space where people can find comfort, build relationships, and talk openly about mental health. Get Together Through Gaming isn’t just about playing games – it’s about building a healthier, more connected community where everyone can feel supported and seen.
A fantastic lineup
We’re proud to partner with some incredible sponsors and streamers who share our vision of promoting gaming as a tool for wellbeing. We have some great names joining us for this year’s event including Jess the Blonde, Yorkshire Enforcer, ADW_FC, and LaurenP681.
Join your favourite streamers as they dive into gameplay, engage in conversations about mental health, and lead the way in fostering positive and open discussions within the gaming community.
