🚌💨 WE WENT ON TOUR! 🚌💨

Limit Break travelled around the country to give our members the chance to meet us and others in this year's cohort.

Thank you to everyone who swung by in Birmingham, Manchester and Brighton. It was lovely to meet and see you all! 💖
Our Mentoring training sessions are all about equipping you with the tools and confidence to become an impactful mentor.

We're so thrilled to share some fantastic feedback from recent participants Emma, Hamish and Kali. Their words truly highlight the value and insight our training provides!
At Limit Break, we believe true allyship is an ongoing practice, and it's so rewarding to see our participants embrace the challenge of becoming better mentors and advocates.

A huge thank you to everyone who has attended any of our Allyship Training sessions!

💓 Be a safe space 💓

Make sure people know you are safe by signalling you are. For example, highlighting your pronouns even if they align with your gender, or using gender neutral terms (such as folks instead of guys)

📢 Speak up 📢

Speak up for LGBTQIA+ rights and call out discriminatory things you see or hear, even if there are no LGTBQIA+ people in the room (That you know of, they might just not be out!)

2/4
LGBTQIA+ Pride might be over (And welcome to Disability Pride btw!) but we continue to be allies every day, June or not!
Here's some quick tips if you'd like to join us in being effective allies in the thread below 👇

We wanted to give a HUGE thanks to Jamie Naden for hosting our first roundtable of 2025, 'So you finally got into the games industry: What now?!'

And thankyou, of course, to the Limit Break cohort who came along and contributed as well 💖
🎉 WE WON!

We could not be more thrilled to win the Outstanding Association Award at the MCV/DEVELOP Awards last night.

Limit Break would not be where it is today without the support of our incredible committee members, our sponsors, & the mentors & mentees who sign up for Limit Break every year 💖
We, @limitbreak.co.uk won tonight. This was my acceptance speech. This is my message to the games industry.

Thank you all 💖
