A gaming café has smashed its own donation goal and raised thousands of pounds for charity courtesy of a 24-hour live stream.

One Life Left in St Benedicts Street hoped to raise £500 for charity - but ended up with more than six times that.

The charity, SpecialEffect, is a UK-based organisation which specialises in providing bespoke controllers for disabled people who have limited access to gaming.

Jon Gage, owner of One Life Left gaming café, said: "We've always made our facilities accessible to everyone of all ages and backgrounds.

"We're very much one big gaming community."

Jon participated in a 24-hour live stream on website, Twitch, along with well-known video personalities.

And after jumping, racing, flying and shooting their way through two 12-hour sessions from January 15 to 16 they had raised £3,041 in total.

Jon added: "To get over £3,000 was incredible and way beyond what we expected."

Some popular games played throughout the stream were Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros, Banjo Kazooie and Halo Infinite.
