The Epilepsy Society is the leading epilepsy charity in the UK for research and support. Providing care and helping those with epilepsy feel more confident in themselves. The epilepsy society is supported by a wide variety of staff, from medical to fundraising.
Ripple’s task was to produce a press release that would be sent to Bucks Free Press. The press release subject was the virtual trek that Gerrards Cross and Fulmer Netball Team made, to raise funds for the Epilepsy Society. However, this was not just any virtual trek, this was to Lapland, and in some cases back again in time for Christmas. Ripple gathered information and photographs from one of the fundraisers and worked with the Epilepsy Society on style and format. This led to a successful press release that captured Bucks Free Press’s attention and was published on Christmas Eve.
What Epilepsy Society said about Ripple:
“This was published on Christmas Eve and is a great awareness raiser locally for epilepsy. Thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate it. Thank you for turning this around so quickly James. It is great.”
