Phil Mansell thanks the community.
The RuneScape community has come together with the support of Jagex Ltd. to donate a total sum of $250,000 to Jagex’s three charity partners. Over the past few months Jagex has been raising money to support mental health services during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. In April the company donated £100,000 to charity partners to support services. Following an in-game charity event combined with proceeds from Solomon’s General Store over the course of the event, players have helped raise an additional £104,000.
The £204,000 ($250,000 USD) is being shared between the three partners equally; CPSL Mind, The Prince’s Trust, and Rise Above the Disorder.
Jagex CEO Phil Mansell said;
“It’s amazing and humbling to see RuneScape players being as supportive of our mental health charity partners as everyone at Jagex is. The work of CPSL Mind, The Prince’s Trust and Rise Above the Disorder is more important than ever right now and all three need all the support they can get to help people through these testing times and champion better mental health. The combined £204,000 total from the £104,000 raised by players during the Mental Health Awareness Week in-game event on top of Jagex’s original £100,000 donation, will make a big difference in enabling them to help others during this time.”
