Stop!
Put those trekking boots down, put your feet up and grab a cuppa. We show you how to help people with epilepsy without breaking a sweat, the bank or bones!
What’s inside… By the time you read this leaflet, someone in the UK will be having a seizure. Around 456,000 people in the UK have epilepsy, affecting everyone from babies and children to people later on in life. Together with your support we can help people with epilepsy continue to live as normal a life as possible. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could live in a society where attitudes towards epilepsy are based on fact not fiction? You can help to make this happen. The services for people with epilepsy have improved from 60 years ago, but there are still lots to do. You can help change the future by making it a better one.
How your money helps make a difference We’re proud of what we have achieved but it’s only because of people like you that we have been able to do so much for people with epilepsy. Over 90 per cent of our income comes from the generosity of the general public. Without this support we wouldn’t be able to continue the vital work needed to help
people living with epilepsy. It’s that simple. Every donation we receive, no matter how large or small, helps us in our ongoing commitment to all people with epilepsy.
