Happy new year, welcome to Epilepsy Action’s Campaign Supporters’ Newsletter!
It’s been a busy few months for Epilepsy Action. Our long awaited Take epilepsy action campaign was launched, and we were thrilled to see so many of you there! So in this issue, you can look forward to reading a round-up of the launches and find out about the next stage of Take epilepsy action. We also bring you campaigns news from the European parliament, Wales, Northern Ireland and your three campaigns officers, Pete, Leanne and Nicole. We will also tell you what happened when Simon Wigglesworth (Epilepsy Action deputy chief executive) met Prime Minister David Cameron.
Please remember, any feed back on this newsletter or our latest campaigns is appreciated.
Best wishes for 2012, The Campaigns team.
