Gaming for Gold

Gaming for Gold is a great way to have fun doing what you enjoy, while raising funds to support our vital regional services.

Pick an online game, play on your own console, or even choose a challenge and 'Game for Gold' with North East Autism Society.

If you haven't done this before, but you would like to try it then here is how you can set up a gaming event from scratch.

Follow these steps to take part in Gaming for Gold:

Register below and set up a Just Giving page for your challenge or ask your friends and family to make a donation here
Set a date
Gather your gaming squad or go solo
Stream your gaming marathon and encourage sponsors
Tag @NorthEastAutismSociety on Facebook, or @NEAutismSociety on Twitter and Instagram. Remember to use the hashtag #Gamingforgold

There are a number of ways to get involved:

Gameathon - Select your console, select your game(s) and select your hours for the ultimate gameathon!

Gaming Tournament – Bring together your friends and family and ask them for a donation in aid of North East Autism Society to join the tournament!

They Control – Your followers control how you play! For every challenge completed e.g. play left-handed for 5 minutes, ask them to make a donation to North East Autism Society

Mix it up – Mix up your gaming experience by setting a fundraising target with a pledge to complete something wacky once reached e.g. play in fancy dress or wax your legs!

Tabletop Games - You don’t have to be a video gamer to join in the fun! You can still take part in the challenges above through holding a Board Games Night!

What is Autism?

Autism is the word used to describe a lifelong difference in a person’s neurology. It’s very difficult to say exactly what ‘it’ is because it can’t be separated from the person.
What we do

We help remove barriers to support individuals with autism and learning difficulties into employment. This new service has been designed to support both the individual, and also the employer.
Child Residential Care

We design individual programmes for each child or young person who stays in one of our residences to ensure their specific needs are met. We offer weekly, termly and 52 week residential placements.
What We Believe

We provide a wide – and ever growing – range of services for autistic children, young people and adults, and those with other examples of neurodiversity.
Our Homes

Creating a 'home from home' environment for autistic children and those with learning difficulties
Trampolining Sessions

Our FREE trampolining lessons are open to children, young people and adults with special needs.
Family Workshops

Our workshops focus on empowering parents to use their natural skills to support their children.
