The Sheffield Games Collective Charity Game Swap returns!
The seasons have changed, the summer has come, and it’s high time for another chance to clear out your games cupboard, make space for some shiny new bargains, and raise money for a great cause in the process.
Our last swap back in January this year raised an astonishing £2.5k for Roundabout Sheffield - thank you so much to everyone who got involved.
We’re delighted to announce that the next swap will be taking place on Sunday 30th July from 11am - 3pm at Patriot Games on Mary Street.
We would LOVE to see this one raise even more money to help Roundabout continue their invaluable work supporting young people at risk of homelessness.
How it works
The game swap is effectively a games-themed ‘bring & buy' sale’ where the prices are set by you. Here’s how it works:
If you have games (tabletop or video) you would like to donate, you can either bring them with you on the day of the event or drop them off at Patriot Games or The Treehouse beforehand. Those who donate games either on the day or in advance get free entry to the swap.
On the day, the full range of games donated will be available for people to browse at Patriot Games between 11am and 4pm. Those who haven’t donated games themselves will be asked to pay an entry fee of £3 (this includes re-entry for those who wish to come in and browse more than once - a smart strategy given that more games will turn up throughout the event!).
You can buy the games on offer on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis, with a suggested minimum donation of £3 per game. Card/ contactless payments will be accepted as well as cash.
After the huge popularity of the last event, this time we’re going to limit the number of games that can be purchased at a time to three, to ensure that more people get the chance to pick from a wider range of games. Once you’ve bought three games, you’ll need to re-join the queue at the back and browse the selection again before you can buy more.
Roundabout will also be running a raffle on the day with some great prizes to be won!
All proceeds from the event plus any games left over at the end of the swap will be donated to Roundabout to support their invaluable work helping vulnerable young people.
What can I donate to the swap?
All tabletop games and accessories will be accepted, including board games, roleplaying games, dice sets, etc. You can also bring along physical copies of video games, games memorabilia and collectibles. Please DON’T bring gaming consoles or other electrical equipment as we will be unable to sell these due to electrical safety regulations.
