We are delighted to announce that Epilepsy Scotland’s well-established partnership with Queen’s Park Football Club, will be enhanced by a season long focus at the club.
Epilepsy Scotland is a charity close to the club’s heart and many supporters have raised funds for us through initiatives involving the Queen’s Park Supporters Association, The Queen’s Park Supporters Team and Queen’s Park FC in memory of Martin Kelly who sadly passed away in 2013.
This season the partnership will see Queen’s Park mark the 70th Anniversary of Epilepsy Scotland being formed in November with a special gift and presentation, with the club also displaying the name of the charity on stadium branding.
Awareness Day
An Awareness Day is being held on Saturday, March 15 when Falkirk are the visitors, with a bucket collection being held beforehand, and the Queen’s Park first team warming up in t-shirts that will have been brought to life following a competition run by Epilepsy Scotland early in the New Year.
The partnership will be developed further through football coaching sessions, involving staff from the club and staff from Epilepsy Scotland, which will be reciprocated by awareness training that is going to be made available to members of the men’s first team and a number of Spiders supporters.
Queen’s Park’s Head of Commercial Kieran Koszary said: “I am delighted to announce that our already strong relationship with Epilepsy Scotland is going to be even stronger through the running of a number of events throughout the season.
“The club know that Epilepsy Scotland matters to the supporters and we are delighted to be in partnership with them.”
Epilepsy Scotland’s Fundraising Manager, Jane Roberts said: “We would like to thank Queen’s Park Football Club and everyone at the Queen’s Park Supporters Association for their continued support of Epilepsy Scotland.
“The club and the Supporters Association have been great supporters of Epilepsy Scotland over the last decade and we are delighted that support will be enhanced during the upcoming season.
“The awareness day on Saturday 15 March 2025, is a great opportunity to raise awareness of epilepsy and the support, services and information that Epilepsy Scotland provides to people living with epilepsy in Scotland.”
