Major UK operator Game Nation is adopting the gambling industry’s own charity, CHIPS, as its favoured cause, supplying wheelchairs to young people.
So far CHIPS has supplied over 700 wheelchairs to handicapped youngsters and their families.
Charity co-founder and trustee Linda Lindsay said: “I am absolutely delighted at the prospect of partnering with the team at Game Nation as we work to generate more funds to help children who have been denied the twin gifts of freedom and independence.
“I have attended virtually all of the 700 presentations that we have made and every single one has had a transformative effect. On behalf of my trustees I would like to say how excited we are to be working with Game Nation and helping more youngsters to get mobile.”
Mark Jepp, CEO of Game Nation, added: “I think CHIPS is one of the most deserving charities that I have encountered. There’s no paid chief executive, CHIPS trustees take no expenses and every penny raised goes to fund the purchase of chairs.
“Its work is nothing short of incredible and we will be harnessing the skill, the incredible talent pool and the energy of the Game Nation team together with the generosity of our wonderful customers to help generate more funds and help more youngsters.”
