A race night is set to take place in Renfrewshire next month to help raise awareness of epilepsy.

The Race Night for Epilepsy Scotland will take place on Saturday, May 30 at Habbies Pub in Kilbarchan.

Organised by local residents William and Christina, the event aims to educate the public on how to better support people with the condition.

The funds generated by the event will be donated to Epilepsy Scotland, an organisation dedicated to supporting people with epilepsy and their families.

It is more than just a charity fundraiser for the couple, as it honours their daughter, Lily.



While the fun-filled evening will include races, there will also be an auction and a raffle with various prizes on offer.

Attendees could win a signed Rangers shirt, a composite door, and other items donated by local businesses.

The couple are reaching out to local businesses and communities in Paisley, Johnstone, Kilbarchan, and Houston, distributing information and encouraging conversations about seizure safety and support.



William and Christina are appealing to the wider community to help support the event.

They are seeking further prize donations for the raffle and auction, sponsorship for races, and social media support to help spread the word.

In return, businesses are promised a prominent feature in promotional materials, thanks on the organisers' social media channels, and mentions during the event.
