Epilepsy Action ‘Out in the Open’ Walk Appeal
Hollyoaks actress Carley Stenson is urging people to put their walking boots on and get ‘Out in the Open’ to raise money for Epilepsy Action, the UK’s leading member led epilepsy charity.
Epilepsy Action is holding its annual nationwide ‘Out in the Open’ sponsored walks on Sunday May 20 2007 to mark the beginning of National Epilepsy Week. The charity needs to recruit as many walkers and walk organisers as possible to reach this year’s fundraising target of £50,000.
Letter to Editor, Epilepsy Action Gold Award
Dear Sir/Madam
Many people with epilepsy face daily discrimination in the workplace at the hands of employers and colleagues.
Epilepsy is covered by the Disability Discrimination Act. However a lot of employers and employees know very little about the condition and statistics show that only 50 per cent of disabled people are in work.
