Hello, and welcome to the latest Epilepsy Action’s Campaign Supporters’ Newsletter!
In this issue, we will be looking back at National Epilepsy Week including the Epilepsy Action Radio day and the Edwards presentations to schools and colleges.
We will be taking a look at the issues that some people with epilepsy have faced when trying to get their ears pierced, attend a yoga class or enjoy treatments at a spa. We also outline an exciting triumph for Epilepsy Action and women with epilepsy that was started back in 2007.
Finally we will be announcing the plans for September with the launch of our year-long campaign – Take epilepsy action.
We hope you enjoy the newsletter. We would be grateful for any feedback, particularly how we can improve the next issue for you.
Best wishes,
The Campaigns Team
