We believe in the power of partnerships and collaborations at Community Care Gaming. We welcome collaborations will those who are our values and those seeking a genuine 50/50 partnership. We are particularly interested in working alongside academic institutions; other not-for-profit organisations; Governmental Departments; Public Health organisations & NHS; publishers, esports teams, trade bodies, igaming businesses and regulators. Community Care Gaming will not work in isolation and as each product starts it development phase, appropriate partners will be sought. Community Care Gaming will announce our mutual partners for each product as they launch.

POLICY LIBRARY An Executive Chair and a team of non-executive directors lead the work of Community Care Gaming. Our initial board has four members, of which 50% will have lived experience of mental health or tech harms. The remaining members will have relevant third-sector, corporate, governance or technology experience. The board will be predominantly externally focused and lead on strategy whilst supporting and scrutinising the executive team that will execute the Community Care Gaming strategy.
In addition, an independent treasurer will also be appointed, and they will chair a Finance, Audit and Risk (FARC) sub-committee of the board who will have designated responsibility. The FARC will be predominantly internally focused and lead on risk, business process, audit and governance. The FARC will also lead our relationship with our accountants.
As funding is secured, a small honorarium of up to £250 pcm will be paid to non-executive directors to recognise the expertise, support and insight they will provide. Our Executive Chair’s annual salary will be available to view the Public Record within our Statutory Accounts and CIC34 Report held by Companies House. Their salary and honorarium payments to non-executive directors will be published annually on this website. Community Care Gaming will also ensure our Statutory Accounts are published with a detailed Income and Expenditure report so you can read exactly the spending across our organisation. In our most recent accounts (to 25 July 2024), the highest-paid director (P L Willows) received a remuneration of £57,837 Gross for the period 01 August 2023 to 25 July 2024 and is employed full-time within Community Care Gaming. The board agreed that the maximum salary for this post is £125,000, which is fixed until 31 July 2025. This payment was for the full-time role of Exec Chair & Founder, which a director undertook. Between 14 August 2021 – 31 July 2022, this post holder drew down a salary of £900 Gross and between 01 August 2022 - 25 July 2023 this postholder drew £89,993 Gross.
During this period at Community Care Gaming, non-executive directors drew honorariums of £7,750 Gross, payable to C Jones and S Cooke. These were agreed honorarium payments for the role of Non-Executive Directors (NEDs). The board have agreed NEDs can draw down £250pcm, with additional payments made for work over and over their fiduciary roles. Where Non-Executive directors (or consultants) secure income for Community Care Gaming, the board has agreed to a 10% fee of the donation as a contribution to core costs due to Community Care Gaming not having a dedicated fundraiser.
Community Care Gaming intend to go above and beyond of what is expected by the CIC Regulator when it comes to financial and impact reporting. For example, it is our plan to pivot towards digital fundraising and having a digital leger on the Blockchain in 2026/27. This will bring about a revolutionary, secure and transparent way to show income for Community Care Gaming and where every penny donated is being spent. Imagine if the taxes we pay could be tracked publicly and transparently, so we can see exactly what each penny we pay in tax is being spent on. We’d know, for example, if we are contributing directly to a nurses or teacher’s salary; if we are contributing to the building of a new hospital or if we are contributing to the UKs Armed Forces. We’d be able to track our tax payments transparently; that is our vision for Community Care Gaming. This technology would also enable Community Care Gaming to join the large growing list of other not-for-profit organisations who are now accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs and other Cryptocurrency donations.
