IMPORTANT UPDATE

Changes to Tech Requests in 2025

As of 2025, Gamers Beat Cancer will no longer be taking individual requests for technology. We are transitioning to a stock list system, which will be posted during the first week of each month on all our social media platforms. This stock list will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

All requests must come directly from the person requiring the product. Please email your request to info@gamersbeatcancer.co.uk.

To ensure we can respond to your request, please include the following information:

Full Name
Contact Information
Product Required
Reason for Request
Copy of hospital letter

If any of this information is missing, we will not be able to respond to your request.

These changes are due to internal adjustments within the Charity and will be in place until further notice.

We appreciate your support and look forward to helping and supporting as many people as possible in 2025.

Our Founder

"In March 2019, my life was changed forever, I was diagnosed with a very rare form of leukaemia called AML (Acute Myeloid Leukaemia).I was admitted into Bradford Royal Infirmary, where my battle would start and I would begin the fight for my life. Throughout my journey and the battle with this disease, I spent a lot of time in isolation and I have always had a great passion for video games since the age of 11 when I received my first computer which back then was a Commodore Plus 4. Computer and video games have always served as a release for me from everyday life and now I needed them more than before and not to feel disconnected from my online friends whilst receiving my treatment in hospital, video games also helped me feel as normal as I could, in-spite of my situation and kept me distracted from the harsh reality that I was facing."

Sadly after a battle of 4 and a half years Steven passed away in June 2023.
