Not long to go until our Halloween Firewalk takes place here at Epilepsy Scotland HQ. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Govan Road and challenge the mind and body to walk over hot coals!

Full training will be given by our qualified team at Inspire. If you would like to sign up, all you have to do is click here. We will then send a free t-shirt and support you with all your fundraising!

We spoke to our supporter Rosie who has signed up for the Firewalk challenge.

Rosie said: “I’m raising funds for Epilepsy Scotland as they’re such a critical service for those of us in Scotland living with epilepsy.

I have received support from Epilepsy Scotland for a number of years now, particularly when I was at university and my epilepsy was flaring up and I was also struggling with depression.

I’m so grateful to have been able to access this support, in the form of one-to-one and group wellbeing sessions, when I needed it.

I’d love to be able to give back to Epilepsy Scotland to allow them to continue to provide vital services such as these – and what better way to do that than to burn my wee tootsies!”

Our supporters will arrive for a welcome tea/coffee and some cake. Then we have a qualified team from Inspire events who will give full training that will last for about half an hour, they will talk you through technique and breathwork then when you feel ready, you will take to the coals.

You are welcome to bring along family and friends to watch and there will be photo opportunities available. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us fundraising@epilepsyscotland.org.uk
