The money raised will go towards the Huntington's Disease Youth Engagement Service
In 2022 we were one of the lucky twelve charities chosen to take part in Jingle Jam. Jingle Jam is the world's largest gaming charity event, it took place online from the 1 to the 14 December 2022.
In what is best described as two wonderful weeks of epic and captivating fundraising streams across multiple channels, we are delighted to announce that the event has raised over £240,000 for the Huntington’s Disease Association Youth Engagement Service.
Thank you to everyone who took part including our streamers, ‘What the flappies’, ‘Twilitphoenix’, ‘CadenBops’, ‘vagrantvortex’, ‘country-brawler’ and to everyone else who watched, supported and donated.
The money raised will go directly toward supporting young people up to the age of 25 who are impacted by Huntington’s disease. This will include developing the youth service, helping people understand the disease, and bringing together and empowering more young people.
Joanne Dobbie, Head of Fundraising said:
“Thank you to Jingle Jam for choosing us to be part of the event, we had so much fun along with our community watching people live stream to raise money. As well as the money raised it was a perfect opportunity for young people from the Huntington’s community to raise awareness of Huntington’s disease. What a phenomenal event well done to everyone involved.”

"I loved doing Jingle Jam, it was super fun and it was really easy to set up as there was plenty of help in the Jingle Jam discord for anyone who needed it. I found that it was an amazing fundraiser and fundraising for the Huntington's Disease Association was fantastic and I had a great time doing it, especially as I use the HDYES service. I would definitely do it again without a second thought"
