About Purple Day

Purple Day began back in 2008 and has since become the international day for epilepsy awareness. Founded in Canada by Cassidy Megan, Purple Day is celebrated throughout the world and strives to raise awareness of, and dispel the myths associated with epilepsy.

To celebrate Purple Day, Epilepsy Action will quite literally be turning purple – and we want you to join us! You can do anything – just make sure its PURPLE!

Organising a Purple Day event really is simple! Whether you paint yourself purple, organise a purple bake off or host a purple tea party you can hold your Purple Day event anywhere and invite anybody along to share in the fun. 

Last year we had Purple Day events all over the UK; from London to West Glamorgan, in schools, homes and workplaces.

What’s involved?

It really is simple, register now for your free Purple-licious Fundraising Toolkit and we will send you everything you need to make your purple day event a huge success (please note organisers pack will be sent out 8 weeks before the event).
