Maya hosts a night to remember in aid of Epilepsy Action

17 July, 2008

Dean Street nightclub, Maya (‘Voted Best New Club’ at the London Bar and Club Awards 2008), hosted a Sixth Form Leavers Ball and helped to raise around £1500 for the UK’s leading member-led epilepsy charity, Epilepsy Action.

The event, held on July 4, was in honour of a past pupil who sadly passed away following a seizure. The students had chosen to fundraise for Epilepsy Action because they wanted to raise awareness of epilepsy.
