Gaming consoles having a "life-changing" impact on isolated families

Local families have been sent gaming consoles during the Coronavirus lockdown, either to give parents and carers some respite time, or to help isolated young people connect with friends and family.

Gaming consoles that were gifted to a number of local families by gaming retailer Go2Games and Palace for Life Foundation have been bringing people together and promoting inclusion during the Coronavirus lockdown, according to a Croydon-based care manager.

Palace for Life Foundation, the official charity of Crystal Palace FC, identified individuals and groups who would benefit from a console, either to give parents and carers some respite time, or to help isolated young people connect with friends and family.
