Other Ways To Support
Home Money Box
Small change can make a big difference to our work and soon mounts up. We are always looking for good homes for these handy boxes so please let us know if you would like to take one for your spare change.
We will write to you two or three times a year and ask you to empty and count your small change and send us a cheque or postal order, made payable to 'Epilepsy Scotland'.
If you are interested in taking a box please contact the fundraising department on 0141 427 4911, or email us at: fundraising@epilepsyscotland.org.uk
Recycling
Cash for Trash
Not only does recycling help protect our environment but it also helps raise money from items you would otherwise throw away.
We have teamed up with eco-friendly Redeem Plc:
www.recyclingappeal.comSo you can easily recycle printer cartridges, mobile phones, PDA’s, Palm Pilots and Blackberries while raising funds for our work. If you have any of these to recycle don’t throw them away, recycle them!
If you want to recycle a printer cartridge from your home printer or want to start a recycling campaign at your place of work and give the profits to Epilepsy Scotland, call the fundraising department on 0141 427 4911, or email: fundraising@epilepsyscotland.org.uk for more details.
We can help with supplying return envelopes for cartridges, phones and PDA’s, or if you have a minimum of 20 cartridges, organise for them to be uplifted. All items sent for recycling must be clearly marked with our account number 705567, or we will not be credited with your returns.
Recycling works for us. Why don’t you give it a try and help us raise much needed funds.

How to Play the Weather Lottery
The Lottery is really easy to play. Simply select six lucky numbers (between 0-9) to play in the daily game. (5 days a week. Monday - Friday.)
Every day the Weather Lottery will take the last digit of the recorded temperature (in Farenheit) as reported in the Daily Telegraph for six destinations as detailed below and scan all of the entries to see who as won!
You can check your numbers via the weather lottery website:
You can also check your numbers through The Daily Telegraph Newspaper, or just give the Weather lottery a call on 0113 275 0005. But best of all you do not need to check or claim your cash prize, the system is fully automated and the prizes will be posted directly to you.

Epilepsy Scotland is currently a member of two special consortiums:
Bighearted Scotland
Bighearted Scotland was formed in 1994 when Scottish based charities decided to work together in the fundraising field.
The six charities who make up Bighearted Scotland are Epilepsy Scotland, Alcohol Focus Scotland, Child and Family Trust, Penumbra, Scottish SPCA and Sense Scotland.
All the charities continue with their own fundraising activities but come together to organise and promote certain events that they would not have the resources to do individually. One such event is the annual Bighearted Scot of the Year Awards, which honours the ordinary people who do extraordinary things to help others or raise money for charity.
