Epilepsy Action rolls out the bunting for Princes Quay
Epilepsy Action has teamed up with Princes Quay to host a pop up vintage tea room at the shopping centre this Saturday [6 October]. The Yorkshire-based charity provides advice and support to the 600,000 people with epilepsy in the UK.
Michaela Crosthwaite, community fundraiser for Epilepsy Action said: “We’ll be rolling out the bunting to give shoppers a vintage tea room experience. As well as tea and cakes served from traditional English china, guests will be able to enjoy a range of vintage entertainment and music.
“We hope that people from across Hull and the East Riding will join us at this fantastic event. It’s sure to be a fun-filled day and we hope that it will raise awareness in the local area and raise funds to sustain our services.
“We find that epilepsy is still so misunderstood. Every day 87 people are diagnosed with epilepsy and there are still so many myths that surround the condition. The money raised will help us to continue to provide vital, accurate information so that people with epilepsy feel empowered to manage their condition.”
The pop up tea room will be open from 10am to 4pm in the central atrium of Princes Quay. There will be a raffle on the day with exclusive prizes, and stalls from local traders. For more information please contact Michaela Crosthwaite on mcrosthwaite@epilepsy.org.uk or 01904 409 814.
All funds raised at the event will go to build a brighter future for the 600,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK today. Epilepsy Action campaigns to improve epilepsy services and raise awareness of epilepsy. It also provides a national network of support groups, funds a specialist nurse scheme, holds regular regional conferences and has a freephone and email helpline.
Epilepsy affects one in every 103 people in the UK alone and 87 people are diagnosed with the condition every day. In the Yorkshire and Humber region, over 40,000 people live with epilepsy. Last year Epilepsy Action directly helped 1.1 million people through its range of services.
