STEALTH Collaborates With SPACE Charity

At the beginning of this year, we had the pleasure of donating 250 items of our stock to SPACE, a Hertfordshire-based charity that supports families with neurodiverse children and young people. The donation included headsets, charging accessories, and console-specific gear.

Making a Difference

Samuel, one of the children at SPACE, was overjoyed to test the new equipment during a recent gaming session. "The headset feels amazing," he exclaimed. "It's so light and comfortable, thank you!" This is the joy and comfort we can bring these wonderful children.

Karen Spencer, the General Manager of SPACE Hertfordshire, expressed her gratitude for the donation. "A huge thank you to STEALTH Gaming for their super-generous donation—the gaming items will help us set up our new gaming space for our neurodivergent children and young people, providing them with a safe, inclusive, and fun environment. We look forward to seeing our youngsters using the new equipment and seeing them thrive!"

Community Support

Supporting organizations like SPACE aligns with our commitment to giving back to the community and promoting inclusivity. We share a common goal with SPACE in creating safe and inclusive spaces for all. We united with Gamers Beat Cancer late last year and did our annual Quest for Kindness, collaborating with the British Red Cross. This is why we are thrilled to see our products being used positively and look forward to continuing our partnership with SPACE in the future.
