The BGI is a national voice for videogame culture, heritage and education that aims to transforms lives with games. Our registered charity (1183530) runs a wide range of social impact programmes that empower people from all backgrounds to: • Play through accessible and creative experiences that engage and inspire. • Collaborate through inclusive communities, research, discussions and teamwork. • Learn through informal, formal and vocational learning. Programmes Culture: We operate the award-winning National Videogame Museum, the UK’s only museum dedicated to videogames, which has welcomes over 200,000 visitors. We curate its nationally significant Collection of 5,000 heritage objects and run the Videogame Heritage Society, a Specialist Subject Network for videogames research and preservation which advises 140 museums and collectors. The Culture programme has won funding from Arts Council England, Museums Association, Esmee Fairbairn Trust, UKRI, English Heritage, Art Fund and AIM. Learning: We operate a multi-award winning programme which delivers formal, curriculum-linked learning for schools, informal learning for families and online learning for anyone anywhere to discover what games mean and how they are made. The Learning programme hosts thousands of school visitors, helped 10,000 families and teachers during lockdown and has won funding from Paul Hamlyn Trust, BBC Children in Need and Jingle Jam. Vocation: We help people from every background find their pathways towards games careers through vocational training, online training (11,500 learners), the Games Education Summit and the Games Careers Week Festival, which we co-founded with Grads in Games and Into Games. This new programme has been funded by Ufi VocTech, Unity and Unreal Engine.
