Donate a tenner to charity at the Develop Awards 2013

Industry charity GamesAid will once again be asking for donations of just £10 at the Develop Awards 2013.

All funds raised will be allocated later in the year to small UK based children and young persons charities, as nominated by GamesAid members.

Your donation can be made on the night or in advance through the Just Giving page.

If you are a UK tax payer, pledges of £10 will become £11.70 via gift card.

You can text GAID66 £10 to 70070 at any time to make your donation.

The Develop Industry Excellence Awards 2013 will be held on Wednesday, July 10th, at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Brighton. More than 500 execs from 165 game companies will be attending the big night.
