Parents Testimonial

"You honestly don't know how good you are at getting out daughter to talk & engage.
​
Honestly she doesn't speak to people in the flesh even people she's known for years she doesn't really talk to them, yet she sits there chatting away with you. It blows my mind how much she talks to you.
 
Clearly have a good way of getting kids to talk."

More Than Just Gaming

Why gaming works when other things haven't 

Traditional social settings ask a lot at once, eye contact, small talk, reading a room full of strangers. Gaming strips that away, so a young person who's gone quiet everywhere else will often talk while they play.​

The People Behind GameMatesUK 

Every mentor picks up a controller because they genuinely love it, not because it's a script. That's what makes the connection real. Your child isn't being managed, they're playing with someone who gets why the game matters.

 

Some sessions stay 1-to-1 for months; others move into a small group when it feels right,Either way, it's their pace, not ours.
