DCMS is providing grant funding for delivery partner(s) to test an innovative three-year ‘Connections through Gaming’ pilot that will use gaming as a route to engage boys aged 11–16 who may be experiencing loneliness, isolation or low wellbeing.
The pilot will combine gaming-based activities, structured wellbeing and confidence-building support; opportunities to build friendships, confidence and positive social connections, both online and in person.
The pilot is particularly focused on boys aged 11-16 who:
- may be becoming withdrawn or isolated;
- are struggling to build or maintain social connections;
- are not currently engaging with existing youth services; and
- would benefit from additional support before challenges become more entrenched.
