Fanattik, the pop culture specialist, is proud to announce its charity partner until the end of 2022 is the gaming charity Get-Well Gamers.

Fanattik have been providing film and gaming collectibles to geeks since 2007, and their M.D. Anthony Marks is glad to be able to give something back to the gaming community, “Every member of staff at Fanattik HQ is a gamer, and we’re a multi-generational team, with some of us growing us with Atari’s and Amiga’s, and some growing up with PlayStations and Xboxs. We all recognise the importance of the problem-solving, hand-eye coordination, and mental health improvement that comes with gaming, so supporting a gaming charity like Get-Well Gamers was a no-brainer.” – Anthony Marks. M.D
