WELCOME TO
GAME CHANGER CHARCUTERIE
Providing free training to those that need it
At Game Changer Academy, our goal is simple: to provide free training to anyone who needs it most.
From primary schools to universities, and from prisons to young people who struggle in mainstream education, we deliver hands-on training that builds skills, confidence, and purpose. Our approach is inclusive, flexible, and designed for learners of all backgrounds; because not everyone thrives in the same way, and education should never be one-size-fits-all.
Through the craft of wild venison butchery and charcuterie, we create powerful learning experiences that blend practical skills with vital life lessons. Students don’t just learn how to prepare food; they discover teamwork, problem-solving, and new ways to look at the world around them.
Every slice of charcuterie we produce, every corporate training day we deliver, and every partnership we build helps fund this mission. So whether you’re here to learn, to support, or simply to find out more, we invite you to explore our site and see how together we can change lives.
WHAT WE DO
SHOP
At Game Changer, every slice of charcuterie helps fund something bigger, free training for young people who need it most.
We use locally sourced wild venison, producing small-batch charcuterie that blends traditional craft with a fresh, modern approach. By turning an overpopulated resource into premium food, we’re supporting biodiversity while creating opportunities for learning.
To make this possible, we’ve partnered with AGM Venison, a veteran-led company dedicated to ethical sourcing. AGM manage all of our sales and distribution, allowing us to focus on our academy while supporting their outstanding work in the field.
So whether you’re enjoying our charcuterie at home, sharing it with friends, or giving it as a gift, you’re not just tasting quality; you’re helping us deliver training, build confidence, and open doors for the next generation
ACADEMY
At the heart of Game Changer is our Academy, a place where training is free for those who need it most.
We believe every young person deserves the chance to learn, grow, and succeed, no matter their background or financial situation. That’s why we offer a wide range of opportunities, from school visits that introduce butchery and food ethics, to advanced charcuterie and butchery courses designed to build real, practical skills.
Every programme is tailored to the individual, helping students of all levels to excel and achieve their goals. For some, that means discovering a new interest and building confidence; for others, it’s about gaining advanced knowledge to prepare for future careers.
Our learning environment is flexible, supportive, and fully inclusive. We adapt our teaching so that everyone, regardless of academic ability; has the opportunity to thrive. By blending hands-on experience with creativity and critical thinking, we create pathways that inspire lifelong learning, personal growth, and community enrichment.
