This holiday season, Theria is stepping up to make a difference, and we’re inviting you to join us! As part of our festive celebrations, we’re launching a fundraiser for Games for the Weans, an incredible children’s charity that makes gaming accessible for kids undergoing treatment at the Glasgow Children’s Hospital.
For those unfamiliar, “weans” is a Scottish term for “children” – and this charity truly embodies the spirit of bringing joy to those who need it most, as children go through life changing treatment. They provide adapted gaming equipment, consoles, and games, giving children moments of fun and normalcy during challenging times.
How Theria is Supporting Games for the Weans
This December, Theria is giving back in several ways:
- All Theria Plus Revenue Donated: Everything we received from the Theria Plus Monthly subscriptions throughout December will go directly to Games for the Weans – and we’ll donate on a pro-rata basis (i.e. 1/12th) of the Theria Plus Annual plan.
- Community Fundraiser: We’ve set up a dedicated donation page where anyone can contribute directly to the cause.
- Matching Donations: Theria will match community donations up to $1,000, doubling the impact of your generosity!

Why This Matters
As you know, gaming is more than just entertainment—it’s a way to connect, escape, and create memories. For children in the hospital, it can be a vital source of comfort and distraction from the challenges they face every day. Your support can help provide that joy, offering everything from adaptive controllers to multiplayer gaming setups for kids to share with family and friends, or Games for the Weans
At Theria, community is at the heart of everything we do. With your help, we can extend this spirit to the wider gaming world and brighten the lives of children going through tough times.
Join the Fun (and Fundraising!)
Alongside our charity appeal, our Christmas Advent Calendar is bringing festive cheer to the Theria community. From December 1st to the 24th, we’ll announce daily events, giveaways, and challenges with over $1,000+ in prizes up for grabs. It’s our way of saying thank you for being part of our incredible community while spreading a little extra holiday magic.
