Alzheimer’s Society and Epson UK partner up to raise funds for people with dementia this Christmas.
Epson has launched a cashback scheme over the Christmas period (13 November – 31 January) to mark a new partnership with Alzheimer’s Society allowing customers to donate up to £50 ($66/ €59) to Alzheimer’s Society (or save for themselves) through sales of selected cartridge-free EcoTank printers.
As the year’s peak period for both consumer shopping and fundraising, Epson said the cashback scheme is expected to raise tens of thousands of pounds for Alzheimer’s Society.
For information on how this cashback works, which EcoTank products it applies to, and to make a claim, customers can visit https://www.epson.co.uk/saveorshare.
Epson will also be equipping some of the charity’s more remote Dementia Advisers with print and scan equipment to help maximise their productivity out in the field while supporting people with dementia.
Tim Beanland, Head of Knowledge Management at Alzheimer’s Society, said: “Every 3 minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia; every penny donated from the campaign with Epson further helps us to be there for those who need our support. Christmas can be a challenging and isolating time for the 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK and their families, and routines can be disrupted during the busy festive period.
Print can be used to make things easier if you have someone with dementia staying with you; for example, printing out pictorial instructions for every-day tasks like making a cup of tea, medication reminders and illustrated labels of cupboard contents to stick on cupboard doors in the kitchen. We welcome the partnership from Epson in using this busy Christmas period to ask customers to contribute to our cause so that we can continue to support people with dementia.”
Charlie de la Haye, communications manager at Epson UK, said: “Most of us know somebody affected by dementia. It’s a privilege to work with Alzheimer’s Society and to give so many of our customers a chance to make their contribution to this brilliant cause. Our cartridge-free EcoTank printers, which come with the equivalent of 88 cartridges’ worth of ink, help alleviate the stress of running out of ink and having to buy more ink cartridges, just one reason why this product is a great protagonist for Epson’s support towards Alzheimer’s Society.”
