New videogame combats Islamophobia and promotes international aid
Friday 18 October - Islamic Relief UK has launched a videogame in partnership with Ultimatum Games, with the aim of teaching young people how international aid works and to tackle negative perceptions of Muslims.

Virtue Reality launched on Thursday 17 October at the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield, where students from Silverdale School in Sheffield and Manchester Islamic Grammar School for Girls were some of the first to try out the game.
