Organise your own event

Fundraising events help to raise awareness of epilepsy as well as raising money for Epilepsy Action.  Holding your own fundraising event offers the chance to have fun, meet people and make a difference. 

This is a brilliant opportunity to be creative and innovative, as you’ll be organising your own event.  People in the past have organised a Hollywood theme fancy dress party, netball match, ‘a play in a day’ and many more.  If you would like more ideas please see Cheque Presentationthe A-Z of fundraising

Holding a fundraising event is not only a great way to raise funds but also to raise awareness of epilepsy and the charity.

If you would like to find out more about organising your own event you can see our Fundraising Guide and A-Z of fundraising. This will give you the essential information for you to get started and hopefully give you some ideas. 

If you would like to find out more about fundraising for Epilepsy Action please please contact the fundraising events team on 0113 210 8800 or email events@epilepsy.org.uk.

Hi

I'm a freelance fashion stylist & visual merchandiser based in Sheffield, i was diagnosed with Epilepsy last year & want to raise money & more awareness of the illness by organising a fashion shoot in various historic locations near me such as Kelham Island industrial museum & Chatsworth house, the theme will be very high fashion lending clothes from designers i kno.
My aim being, i will then sell the images from the photoshoot @£5 / £10 each

I'm putting together the team at the moment of a photographer, models, creatives i already kno who are all happy to work for free on the shoot. & will be meeting with the PR representatives from both places to talk about use their premises for the day of the shoot, which has been well recieved so far;-)
If someone could email me with a pack i can print off to collect funds ect & any publicity you could help with would be fantastic;

Kind Regards

Natalie
