“For a lot of people, the first thing they learn to do confidently online isn’t filling in a form. It’s playing a game.”
Gaming is often where someone first changes a text size, turns on subtitles, remaps a controller, uses voice chat or finds a community that understands them. For many disabled and neurodivergent people, it’s where the digital world first feels built with them in mind.
That confidence can carry over into booking a GP appointment, managing benefits or keeping in touch with family. Yet gaming is still missing from most digital inclusion plans. No single organisation can change that alone. Together, we can.

Please register with your organisation email address. If your organisation doesn’t have its own email domain, email info@ifbgaming.com and we’ll register you directly. Individuals can follow the network through our Gaming Guide Series.
