Nominate The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust at your local supermarket

Many supermarkets support small charities through their generous donations/grants schemes. By nominating The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust for a donation/grant, you can make a real difference to your local community. Donations may help to provide our free leaflets to your local hospital so that anyone experiencing ectopic pregnancy in your area and being treated there receives crucial information about the condition and the Trust.

Simply choose one of the supermarkets below in your area and use the information here to fill out your nomination form.

Co-op

Locate your closest supermarket operating a local causes/grants scheme

You can become a Co-Op member for £1 and choose a local cause to support.

Morrisons

Morrisons’ grant funding supports charities delivering projects which help to improve people’s lives. Their grants provide vital funding for good causes across England, Scotland and Wales.

Nisa

Making a Difference Locally helps independent retailers support their local communities.

MADL enables stores to nominate charities or good causes that are local to them to receive a specific donation from us.

Donations may be made to The EPT as one of the many charities operating in the UK and you can speak to your local Nisa retailer to ask them to nominate us.

Waitrose

Waitrose shares £25,000 between three national charities every three months and customers can vote every time they shop online.

Walks, runs, swims and bike rides

Using gardens, treadmills, bikes, and stairs at home, you can be as creative as you wish in setting your own targets - perhaps run a marathon or cycle from London to Paris “at home”!

Choose a favourite local route for a walk/run, choose a mountain you have had the ambition to climb or swim in your favourite lake.

Adding an extra-special touch to your big day

Marking your special occasion while supporting The EPT can help to bring light to others. For weddings, some of our fundraisers have requested donations in lieu of presents and gifted our beautiful pin badges as unique wedding favours.

Other important dates to you

For any important dates that are special to you, we have the option of setting up a JustGiving online page.

Family, friends and colleagues can be invited to make a donation in lieu of gifts to raise funds and awareness and leave a personal message.

Every step counts

Set yourself a step target. Whether doing laps around the garden or using your stairs, keeping track of your daily steps not only keeps you active but helps energy levels and motivation. Keep your sponsors up to date with your progress to raise even more funds and awareness as well as motivation.

Healthy habits

With changing lifestyles, now could be the right time to make healthy choices. Stopping smoking, losing weight and reducing alcohol intake are always easier with support and encouragement - and by being sponsored by friends and family, you can raise funds and awareness of ectopic pregnancy at the same time.

Social nights

Get-together with a quiz night, Karaoke, or disco with family and friends donating to join in. FaceTime, Zoom, and Skype are all popular platforms that are free to set up and use.

You can even include a raffle or an auction (or auction of promises when permitted). RallyUp is an online platform that can help with setting up online raffles, auctions, and sweepstakes, which we could assist with.

Foodie event

Host a dinner party, curry night, wine tasting or barbecue where guests contribute donations to the Trust. Popular themes include “Come Dine with Me” or be inspired by a celebrity chef.

You can get creative using video-calling to connect with a few of your friends and family households having the same menu!

Exercise classes and activities

Start up exercise classes for others to join with a donation. Yoga, Pilates, Spinning, Zumba, Body Pump are just a few popular ideas... or choose your own passion! Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts and YouTube are all popular platforms that are free to set up and use.

When in-person events are permitted, hold a sports match (such as five-a-side football tournament) and charge for entry.

Skill up

In challenging times, it can help to have distractions that we use as we adjust. Get knitting, crafting, DIY or learning a new language.

By asking friends and family for sponsorship, you can raise funds and awareness for ectopic pregnancy while learning a new skill. Some donate a percentage of their profits from their small businesses.

If you have a skill you can teach and share with others, set up classes with donations to join in. FaceTime, Zoom, Skype and YouTube are all popular platforms that are free to set up and use.

Mindfulness

Secure some time and space for your thoughts and raise money while doing so with a sponsored silence or take the time to read those books that you’ve always meant to tackle!

Use our EPT colouring sheet and thank you NHS colouring sheet to unwind.

Creativity

Arts and crafts can be therapeutic. If you have a creative flair, you can sell and donate a portion of your profits to the charity. Recent supporters have sold art, framed photographs, rainbow charms, and bath bombs to raise funds for the charity through Ebay.
