Our friends at Solving Kids’ Cancer UK have been shortlisted for GamesAid Charity of the Year, and they need your vote.

If you’re already a GamesAid member, please check your inbox for an email from Choice Voting, which contains your unique link to vote. We’d really encourage you to support Solving Kids’ Cancer UK, who do exceptional work supporting children and families affected by neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer. Voting closes on Monday 27 April at 5.00pm.

Previous funding from GamesAid has played a vital role in strengthening Solving Kids’ Cancer UK’s impact. It enabled the charity to develop a post treatment support programme, addressing a critical and often overlooked gap in care. While families receive support during active treatment, this can fall away abruptly once treatment ends — even though the emotional, practical and psychological challenges often remain. This programme provides families with ongoing guidance, emotional support, and connection at a time when they can feel isolated and uncertain, helping ensure no family faces life after treatment alone.

Thank you for supporting a charity that continues to make a life changing difference for children and their families facing cancer.
