Making Gaming Fun For Everyone!
Despite a rich mix of people who play games, the narrative around gaming can carry a negative perception. It doesn’t have to be this way!
Gaming today is more inclusive than ever. Men, women, and families from different cultural backgrounds all enjoy video games. There are fewer physical spaces for these groups to come together and share their passion.
We’re Nigel and Lao, mayamada co-founders and organisers of GamePad, a social gaming event promoting fun and inclusion in gaming.
With today’s focus being on online gaming we believe playing together in the same space is something that has been lost over generations. We are bringing social gaming back along with all the benefits – GamePad was born.
With gaming at the centre, GamePad is an inviting inclusive social experience. GamePad takes place across various London boroughs. We get young people involved in a positive social activity that helps fight isolation and develop key social skills through work experience, opening pathways for future employment opportunities.
We want to make gaming something everyone can get excited about, not just the “stereotypical” gamer. Whether you’re experienced or new to the gaming world, you can take part. Our mission is to attract male and female gamers, families with young children, and even people who have never attended a gaming event.
We are grateful for our fantastic supporters in the video game industry, including Bandai Namco, Ubisoft and Nintendo! GamePad has been featured in media outlets such as the Metro Evening Standard, TimeOut and Mashable.
Join our next event and see what all the fuss is about!
#RaiseTheGame Pledge Supporter
We’re proud to be official pledge supporters of Ukie’s #RaiseTheGame campaign. The initiative is committed to championing and fostering diversity and inclusion in the video games industry, something we believe needs to happen to create meaningful change in the industry we’re so excited about.
Through GamePad we have already been able to provide work experience opportunities to many young people who want to build careers in the games industry. We look forward to working with Ukie and other pledge supporters to bring more awareness and support to make this incredible sector more accessible for the next generation of talent!
GamePad is truly a team effort. Meet the wonderful people who power the event…
