£200 could buy a single-handed controller that we can modify to enable a disabled gamer to play comfortably with just one hand.
£1600 could help fund an in-depth assessment by our specialist team and the subsequent loan of an adapted gaming control setup to enable a disabled gamer play to the best of their abilities.
