The Mid Essex branch of Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy organisation, is holding an advice and information day on Saturday 27 June to support people affected by epilepsy in the area.
The event will take place from 9.00am to 5.00pm at High Chelmer Shopping Centre, Exchange Way, Chelmsford. There’ll be a display stand with a variety of information available, and members of the Mid Essex branch will be there to offer advice and information relating to epilepsy.
Marie Edgar, regional services manager for London and the South East, said: “This event is to provide advice and information to anyone who has an interest in epilepsy. We will have an information stand in the shopping centre that will be accessible to all members of the public. People will be able to meet others, take away literature and learn more about epilepsy and the services we offer, as they shop."
Anyone who would like further information, or to get involved with the Mid Essex branch should contact the branch on 07929 749 994.
Epilepsy Action has an extensive network of branches throughout the UK. The branches hold regular meetings and offer a variety of social events and informative talks and discussions relating to epilepsy. The meetings offer the opportunity for people to share their experiences of living with epilepsy and also raise awareness of the condition.
