Jagex Raises $300k to Support a Trio of Mental Health Charities

Runescape developer, Jagex, has announced that it has raised $300,000 in support of a trio of mental health charities. Funds were raised by the Jagex community through a variety of means including in-game content, sharing the charity fundraising page and more. Supported charities include The Prince's Trust International, CPSL Mind and the YMCA Right Here.

“Our passionate and generous RuneScape community has helped raise hundreds of thousands of pounds over the last few years for some incredible causes. By singularly focusing on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people through partnering with our chosen charities, we hope they will once again come together and help people to receive the backing they need to cope with the turbulence of the world today.” wrote Phil Mansell, CEO.

Delighted to share that you've helped us to raise over £225,000 over the past year to support our Mental Health charity partners: £75,000 over target! Great news to kick off #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek! ?? https://t.co/vhwKQaPbFe Stay tuned for today's launch of #MHAW18 in-game. — Jagex Games Studio (@Jagex) May 14, 2018
