This month we're celebrating ten years of Nintendo Players UK. I've been head of the hub since September 2020, and admin since 2015. But I wasn't the original creator. That was James Bowden. He wanted to create a community of like minded Nintendo fans in his city where he'd just graduated from university, and as it transpired that there were others dotted around the UK, the hub was formed! The eth...

I may pitch myself as a multi passionate business owner, but when I'm asked what's my one core value/passion, it all comes down to community. The feeling of being part of something bigger, the feeling of belonging. I was always part of clubs etc through school, but I never really felt I belonged. As an anxious thing, I found a workaround - If I can't belong to anyone else's communi...
