Think Cre8tive Group CIC are looking for sponsorship to support their Funtime Games UK project.
Funtime Games UK – We are a games server provider using Minecraft BEDROCK to help neurodiverse young people to thrive. Unlike other groups, we have a mix of young people with a range of issues and difficulties, and we aim to promote awareness and understanding of neurodivergent people. Our Minecraft server provides a safe space for young people to socialise, make new friends, follow their passions, develop their creativity, and improve their creativity, and improve their confidence and self-esteem.
On a weekly basis, we offer moderated creative sessions, small group sessions, one-to-one and Arts Award-based sessions. Through our experience in creative arts for wellbeing and existing activities and successes with Funtime Games, we are ideally placed to continue to support young people to build their mental health and wellbeing.
Through the 2020 lockdowns, our CEO Melanie Cossins realised that young people were struggling with the isolation and restrictions imposed on them. Both her children are neurodivergent and their usual socialising groups stopped. Melanie noticed the negative effect the pandemic and periods of lockdown were having on their mental health and in particular their sudden lack of social interaction. Through her own use of online support groups for parents of neurodiverse children, she realised this was the case for many neurodivergent children, not just her own. This is how Funtime Games project was born.

Our project is aimed at young people aged 6-16 who love gaming, especially Minecraft.
