My story

I am doing my 24-hour gaming challenge again this year, and I am aiming to exceed the £1,000 which I raised through Give as You Live and other donations last year.  My 24-hour gaming challenge involves playing on games consoles  (Nintendo Switch, iPads and other games consoles) to raise money for Signposts (Mid Sussex) Ltd, a charity supporting adults with learning disability in Mid Sussex.  

I am going to start gaming at midday on Friday 3 April.  I will take selfies or screenshots regularly until I finish the challenge at midday on Saturday.  Please sponsor me to do this challenge by donating to Signposts.

Signposts is a charity based in Burgess Hill which supports adults with learning disabilities across Mid Sussex.  They run drop-in sessions in Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and East Grinstead to provide support and advice to adults with learning disabilities and their carers.  They also provide outreach support for those people who are unable to get to a drop-in session.  My Dad, Chris, is a Trustee of Signposts and the Treasurer.  He says that most of the Charity’s income comes from West Sussex County Council and from individuals with learning disability who are directly funded, but Signposts needs to raise funds to cover an annual shortfall.


Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Signposts (Mid Sussex) Ltd.
