The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity is the charity for the Royal Navy and aims to support sailors, marines and their families for the rest of their lives, and since launching in 2007, the charity has pumped money into boosting the support received.

Game Over is Portsmouth’s only video game cafe and has a range of things to get involved in, from the Atari to the Game Cube, visitors can immerse themselves into a world of historic gaming.

Steve Lowe, who owns Game Over, said: ‘We are family-orientated so it was an opportunity to partner up with the RNRMC for World Gaming Day and give something back to the community.’
