Raise a fiver for Stand Up To Cancer, get 30-day Xbox Game Pass trial

Or watch Eurogamer's own stream later this month.

This October, Channel 4 and Cancer Research UK will once again hold their annual Stand Up To Cancer fundraising campaign. And, this year, you're invited to take part.

By signing up via BT Gamer, the charity's gaming partner, you can create a JustGiving page for your fundraising efforts. There's a Gaming Challenge to collect the most Xbox Gamerscore points through the month and, as well as supporting a great cause, the first 50,000 entrants to raise a fiver in donations will receive a month's free Xbox Game Pass trial.

(You can't already have an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, it's worth noting.)

Of course, if Gamerscore isn't a thing you care about, Stand Up To Cancer is also encouraging you to stream, or host tournaments, or do anything related to gaming to raise money for the charity. You can register your donations via the same link above.

And if you simply want to watch some great people stream games for you, Eurogamer's video team will be hosting a Stand Up To Cancer stream on 30th October. Be sure to watch!
