Xsolla has partnered with Stevenage FC to launch a charity campaign with SpecialEffect in the United Kingdom, a charity dedicated to helping everyone to have the ability to enjoy video games.
SpecialEffect’s Partnership Manager Liam Lawler added, “We are incredibly grateful and honoured to be chosen as the charity partner of Stevenage FC. The generosity of Xsolla in donating 50 accessible setups and putting SpecialEffect front and centre of the third kit is a powerful testament to our shared mission to make gaming accessible. Being on the third kit is a powerful platform to raise vital funds and awareness. We’re excited to work together to make a lasting impact on the growing number of young gamers with disabilities SpecialEffect works with and helps.”

Stevenage FC kits support SpecialEffect
Through Xsolla’s Official Partnership with Stevenage FC, Xsolla will be donating the kit for the April 6th match vs Blackpool. As part of the campaign, SpecialEffect will be the primary kit brand for the match and will receive a percentage of the jersey sales leading up to the match and throughout the rest of the season. “The Club has a close association with gamers, so this is a natural partnership for us,” said Stevenage FC Director, Stuart Dinsey. “The work SpecialEffect does is truly transformative - helping people combat isolation via eye-gaze technology, bespoke controllers, occupational therapists, and more. We will use our ever-growing reach to support this.”
Driving positive change
In addition to donating the kit, Xsolla will match donations from jersey sales, with the goal of using the funds to provide up to 50 Accessible Setups to disabled gamers at the end of the 2025-2026 season, and to support programs leading up to the 50th Anniversary Season of Stevenage FC in 2026-2027. “Gaming is for everyone - no barriers, no limits,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “Supporting SpecialEffect aligns with our mission to make gaming accessible to everyone. By being a part of their mission, we can help to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to play, connect, and experience the joy and community that video games bring.”
