Our Social Responsibility

We're game. Are you?

Fundraising and Charity Support

As well as working with Ecologi, we’re extremely proud to continuously support SpecialEffect as our primary charity partner. SpecialEffect is on a mission to put fun and inclusion back into the lives of disabled people around the globe, and at Skillsearch we’re dedicated to supporting this mission as effectively as we can.

As a result, we regularly attend and host events in aid of SpecialEffect – our two annual events being Games Brains of Brighton and Play@Develop.

We are also partnered with The Clock Tower Sanctuary, to regularly donate food shops and give CV and interview advice. They are the only drop-in day centre in Brighton & Hove for young people aged 16-25 experiencing homelessness. Based in central Brighton, it’s a place where young people who have nowhere to call home can feel safe and ‘just be.’ They listen and respond to what the young people need and treat everyone as an individual.

The main goal of our partner Safe In Our World is to create and foster worldwide mental health awareness within the video game industry; to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, to make it a natural topic of discussion, and to promote the dialogue surrounding mental health so people are not afraid to reach out for help if they need it.
