Charity's new project invites young people to Dungeons and Dragons game nights
Young people can get stuck into a game of Dungeons and Dragons whilst building social skills and emotional resilience thanks to a new project.
Spiral, a charity which supports young people affected by bullying, has received £3,000 from Cumberland Council to go towards its new youth focused D&D project called Journey Together.
The funding will help the charity to run game nights in multiple locations which will create a safe and supportive space where those attending can develop their confidence, social skills, and emotional resilience.
They will build friendship, explore social situations, and develop teamwork and problem solving skills through the roleplaying game.
The charity said: "A huge thanks to the the folks at Carlisle College and Carlisle Youth Zone for supporting us to get this project running.
"Speak to anyone who has played Tabletop RPGs and they can attest to the benefits they offer."
Spiral has also asked whether anyone in Carlisle who may have D&D related items such as dice can donate them to the project.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 Trailer Leaks And Reveals Fan-Requested Baby Dinos
Jurassic World Evolution 3 is real and launching later this year, according to a newly leaked trailer which also reveals that baby dinosaurs and more fan-requested features are arriving in the anticipated prehistoric theme park simulator sequel. On June 6, Jurassic Addict on Twitter spotted and shared images and details from what appears to be a story that accidentally went live on German gaming site GameStar. The story leaked that Jurassic World Evolution 3 will be launching on October 21, 2025, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Oddly, no Switch 2 port. The upcoming game is likely to be officially revealed during Summer Game Fest. Also included in the leaked story was a trailer which has since been pulled from GameStar's site but has already been uploaded to many places online by fans. Here's a YouTube version that might be ripped down by the time you read this: And no, your internet connection isn't crappy. The quality of the leaked trailer is really bad. Still, this trailer provides us with our first look at baby dinos, a highly requested feature that wasn't in the first two Jurassic World Evolution games. Jurassic World fans are already digging through the low-quality trailer to spot new features and additions. As mentioned already, baby dinos are now a part of the game. But fans have also spotted improved and advanced terrain tools, new vehicles to drive around in, more customization options, new behaviors, the ability for flying dinosaurs to walk around on the ground, and new ways to tweak your genetically altered dinosaurs before they hatch. As a big fan of Frontier Development's Jurassic World Evolution 2 (and its predecessor), I'm excited that we're getting a new game later this year, and just a few months after Jurassic World Rebirth hits theaters in July. Hopefully, you'll be able to create a wild-looking D-Rex in the game. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
