Samtök innan leikjaiðnaðarins hafa unnið saman að því að hefja stóra fjáröflunarherferð til að hjálpa fólki sem hefur verið á flótta vegna yfirstandandi hernaðaraðgerða í Úkraínu.
The Ukrainian Gaming Industry Initiative aims to raise £250,000 to support Choose Love's Ukraine Crisis fundraiser, which supports projects providing vital aid to refugees from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Donations can be made by clicking the link here.
Þar sem meira en 350,000 fólk hefur flúið Úkraínu undanfarna viku, safnar Choose Love fjármunum fyrir þá sem veita nauðsynlega aðstoð og þjónustu við þá sem enn eru á flótta og flýja land, þar á meðal bráðalæknishjálp, mat, skjól, fatnað, lögfræði stuðningur, stuðningur við LGBTQIA auk samfélags- og geðheilbrigðisstuðnings.
During this beta period, there is a strong desire from all sides of the gaming industry to help the Ukrainian people. That's why several organizations within the gambling industry have been working together to create a mechanism where everyone can help the Ukrainian people.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian gaming industry explained: "Most organisations hire people from Ukraine or do business in the region, drink with them and most importantly make friends with them.
"The global gaming industry is one family and over the past few days we have clearly seen the sense of responsibility it feels in supporting the people of Ukraine, which is why we have launched this campaign that allows us to work together, make this easier to happen.
"After extensive research, we have concluded that Choose Love will be the quickest and most efficient way to use the funds raised to help those most in need.
"We know that many have launched their own inspiring efforts, but we set this up for those who are unsure how to get involved and which raise to choose for quick and effective support. By working together, we can also show that How the industry develops an everlasting force."
Herferðin safnar meira en bara peningagjöfum. Það hvatti einnig fyrirtæki með afgang og ónotaða kynningarvöru eins og rafbanka, handklæði, vatnsflöskur og föt til að senda inn til að hjálpa viðleitni.
Mörg fyrirtæki munu eiga ónotað birgðahald í fyrirhuguðum kynningum undanfarin ár fyrir atburði sem hafa ekki gerst og þessi skráning getur veitt flóttamönnum mikla efla sem skilja allar eigur sínar eftir.
