The UK video games industry is worth £7.16 billion. So what does your organisation need to know about the opportunities and risks it offers?

This week we chat to George Osborn, Head of Campaigns and Communications for UKIE, the UK video games industry trade body, about inclusion in the gaming industry, how charities and fundraisers can tap into the potential of gaming, and what the state of gaming tells us about wider digital trends.

Zoe and Paul also talk about the Runnymede Trust’s report on women of colour in the workplace, and whether we’re too dependent on the algorithms of music streaming services.
