Has Epilepsy Action made a difference to your life? Tell us...
The Impact Report is a great way to give information on our work and show exactly how we have brought about changes to the lives of our members and service users. We wanted to produce something to show the value of our work, not just the fact and stats, as in the Annual Report. A printed version will be produced annually to go alongside the Annual Report.
The Impact Report will be an ever-evolving, live report, remaining on our website for many years to come. It is a great way of getting people to understand what we do and because it is online, and there is no limit to space! Plus, it tells your stories!
You can get involved by telling us how Epilepsy Action has made a difference to your life. If your life has been improved by Epilepsy Action, please contact our publications manager, Greg Smith, on 0113 210 8869, or at gsmith@epilepsy.org.uk.

Epilepsy action has made a tremendous difference in my life. This is a lot better than local NHS who said " you have epilepsy, here's some pills, now get lost " No support from the NHS and no real advice about seizures and medication. Epilepsy Action have given me a lot more information & support
