SpecialEffect
https://www.specialeffect.org.uk/
SpecialEffect transform the lives of people with physical challenges right across the world through the innovative use of technology. At the core of this mission is their work to optimise inclusion, enjoyment and quality of life by helping people control video games to the best of their abilities for as long as they need them.
They don’t charge anything at all for their help. That’s why donations, large or small, really do count. Without charitable support, they wouldn’t be able to help people with physical disabilities to enjoy a better quality of life through their assessments, online resources and collaboration with key developers.

Hello everyone!
We wanted to let you all know that the process for getting a charity added to the Twitch Charity Tool has changed, because of this, we will be closing out these requests. At this time, the charity tool is fully integrated with the PayPal Giving Fund; so if your charity is registered there, you can already find it to start a fundraising campaign. In the case you find your charity appears to be missing from the tool, please reach out to the organization regarding registering with the PayPal Giving Fund.
You can learn more about how to sign up your charity here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/twitch-charity-charities. For more information on Twitch’s Charity Tool, please feel free to access our FAQ Help Article: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/twitch-charity-faqs.
While we normally respond to each idea on UserVoice individually, as a result of the volume of requests and the scope of this change, we will be mass responding to let the community know. Apologies if you have shown support for multiple charities and are receiving more than one email update for this adjustment.
Thank you all for giving us your feedback and for sharing your passion for your charities with Twitch!

Special Effect is a charity that provides disabled people with customised gaming set-ups around their disabilities. Each year they hold an event called Gameblast of where loads of streamers from over the world raise money. Having them would make Gameblast a lot easier for charity streamers in the UK.

This charity is providing the tools for inclusivity amongst the disabled community to join in and play the games they love. They need all the support they can get and are the hero's that don't wear cape's.

A platform for content creators to play and review games on would be great to officially recognize a charity that provides help to people who want to game and express themselves. Seems logical one would think?

One of the reasons Twitch exploded, was because of gaming.
SpecialEffect provide less-abled gamers the controls needed, to access and enjoy those games and associated communities. I couldn't think of a charity more apt for this position. -
