Into Game is now a charity and we are on the look out for a new trustee board to help shape and guide us as we embark on this new and exciting part of our journey...

We are now the first and only charity in the world focused solely on helping working-class and low-income people enter the games industry.

Thats a big responsibility and we need the right board to help us be a beacon for others to follow.

The UK games sector is full of talent, but access to careers is still far from equal. We exist to change that — through education, support, and opportunity.

We’re looking for new Trustees who share our belief that where you start in life shouldn’t determine where you end up. Whether you’ve worked in games, education, youth support, tech, comms, HR, fundraising, or have lived experience of the barriers we’re trying to break down — we’d love to hear from any senior, strategic leaders who ideally have some board experience.

Our Charitable Objectives

Our purpose is:

To advance the education for the public benefit of young people and individuals from low-income and working-class backgrounds in the subject of video gaming and the video gaming sector by:

(a) Promoting, improving and developing access to education, training, and career opportunities in the video games sector;
(b) Providing school workshops, training programs, and work placements within the UK video games industry to enhance skills, knowledge, and employability;
(c) Supporting initiatives that promote equality, diversity, and inclusion in the creative industries, with a focus on removing barriers to entry for underrepresented socio-economic groups; and
(d) Conducting and publishing research into the social and economic barriers affecting access to the video games industry and using such research to inform best practice in education and employment.

Who we are looking for

We’re particularly interested in individuals with senior experience in one or more of the following:

• Strategic Business Development - to help us take advantage of networks and plan for growth
• Finance/Commercial – to help us stay financially strong and future-ready
• Governance/Legal – to support good decision-making, compliance and safeguarding
• Fundraising and Partnerships – to unlock new resources and relationships
• Comms/Marketing – to help us grow our reach and share our impact
• Lived Experience – if you’ve faced the barriers we’re working to dismantle, your voice is critical

We need people with contacts, with drive, and with the ability to actually make things happen. This shouldn't be a side project, or something interesting to put on your CV, this will be an active and focussed role with a good amount of strategic work to do.

We’re after curious, committed individuals who care deeply about fairness, equity, and opportunity. Maybe you’ve worked in the games industry, maybe you haven’t. Maybe you’ve faced barriers yourself and want to make the path smoother for others. We value practical experience, energy, and fresh perspectives.

If you’re thoughtful, collaborative, and excited about shaping a fairer future in games — we want to hear from you.
