South Yorkshire gamers raise £2,260 for Roundabout

The Roundabout Game Swap, held in partnership with The Treehouse Board Game Café and Patriot Games, gave the chance to re-home unloved games in support of a local cause.

The Treehouse is Sheffield's first board game café, a space for gamers to explore a library of more than 800 board games, with expert staff on hand to make game recommendations and help with the rules.

People who donated games either on the day or in advance got free entry to the swap at tabletop gaming centre Patriot Games in Mary Street, while other visitors paid a £3 entry fee.

“This event is always one of our favourites, and we love attending!” said Roundabout community fundraiser Lucy Hurd.

“Yet again, it was a great chance to turn neglected old games into someone else’s latest favourite, and we loved seeing so many people come along and take part in our charity raffle too.”

“We’d like to thank all the gamers who came along and helped to raise such a fantastic sum and of course the organisers who continue to support our charity.

“This money will help Roundabout continue its invaluable work in supporting young people at risk of homelessness across our region.”
