游戏交换网站第四次向Great Ormond Street赠送游戏和控制台

今天是圣诞 Eve， preparation now should be complete as we all turn our attention to the big day itself. Before the man himself dons that big red suit, we'd like to share a modern-day, heartwarming Father Christmas tale from our friends over at Game Swap Shop UK.

For the fourth year in a row, the community of the UK-based video game-swapping platform has come together to raise money for the children of London's world-famous Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Daryl Williams, the founder of Game Swap Shop UK, uses the funds raised to buy all of the gaming goodies and delivers them personally to the London-based children's hospital just a few days before Christmas.

This year, the company focused on getting the children an amazing PS5 set up, managing to raise over £1,000 to buy a brand new PS5, an extra controller (Purple to go with the Great Ormond Street Hospital aesthetic), and over 20 brand new games. They also bought a couple of the most popular Nintendo Switch games that have come out this year — Super Mario Bros. Wonder & The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — to keep their Switch collection up to date.

Since 2020, Game Swap Shop UK has raised over £10,000 in cash and gaming goodies for the Children's Hospital and plan on doing much more in the years to come. Founder Daryl Williams says, "It's fast become a Christmas tradition to do this for Great Ormand Street Hospital and I love every second of it, it is such an honour getting to go down and hand over everything we get them, every year I'm blown away by the community’s generosity and I'm so proud to be a part of it."

We applaud Daryl's commitment to a cause that is clearly very important. The gift of video games can bring joy to children during their hospital stay, and we hope us sharing his story will inspire others.

Ho, ho, ho.
