Charitable Giving

"Our generous RuneScape community has helped us raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for some incredible causes. We are focusing on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people by partnering our chosen charities. Together with the support of our player communities, we have raised over more than £1million ($1.4million) to share between our charities. Thank you for your generous, and ongoing, support."
Phil Mansell, CEO

Through our charitable giving initiatives, we aim to make a real difference to people’s lives. There are a number of ways you can get involved, from sharing this page, visiting the charities websites or making a donation. Most recently, Jagex won the Best Financial Wellbeing Initiative award in the Inside Out Awards for Excellence in the Mental Health Agenda during Lockdown for our Covid related work with our mental health charities last year – that’s the 5th Charity award for Jagex since 2018.

Safe In Our World

The main goal of Safe In Our World is to create and foster worldwide mental health awareness within the video game industry; to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, to make it a natural topic of discussion, and to promote the dialogue surrounding mental health so people are not afraid to reach out for help if they need it.

Safe In Our World also aims to assist people who don’t suffer from mental health issues in understanding these afflictions as well as identifying symptoms, their signs, and any related challenges so they are better equipped to help others in a proactive and educated manner. Jagex is proud to be a Level Up Mental Health Partner.

RAD

Rise Above The Disorder (RAD) is dedicated to making mental health care accessible to everyone, everywhere. What began as one gamer's mission to help just one person overcome their depression has evolved into a massive community seeking to help everyone in need of support. To achieve its mission, RAD provides entirely free mental health services to gamers through its grant program goals, creating and sustaining a universal mental health care system that's open to everyone.

RAD has helped more than 28,000 people find the hope and happiness they deserve. RAD believes recovery should be warm, welcoming and culturally relevant. RAD's team is comprised entirely of young adults and teenagers who share their wisdom, and foster an environment of self-improvement and self-empowerment.

RAD's message of hope unites thousands in support of recovery, believing that no one should suffer alone. RAD helps people share stories, create local meet-ups, and provides free group therapy meetings - just a few of the ways the RAD community is rising above.

Blueprint For All

Blueprint for All believes that your race, ethnicity or background shouldn't limit what you can achieve in life. Their work directly addresses some of the key challenges that hold people back. The charity believes all young people should receive the education, training and support they need to reach their potential.

Programmes provide inspiration, opportunities and support to talented young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, enabling them to succeed. Blueprint For All works with innovative organisations and businesses, such as Jagex, to address disparity of opportunity, so everyone’s talents, skills and perspectives are valued.

By empowering communities across the UK to tackle disadvantage and discrimination, together we aim for long term, sustainable change for a fair and equitable future.
