Annual festive gaming for good event Jingle Jam has raised £2.6m for its charity partners, which is marginally down on last year’s total.

This year’s event took place last week and included Twitch streamers such as TommyInnit, Talia Mar, Tubbo, RTGame, and The Yogscast.

Eight charities benefitted from this year’s event: Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), War Child, Autistica, Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal, Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), Cool Earth, Sarcoma UK and The Trevor Project.

The event has been taking place since 2011 and involves games industry figures.
