Epilepsy Action, the UK's largest member-led epilepsy organisation, is re-launching a branch in Reading to support people in the area affected by epilepsy.
People from the reading area are invited to the re-launch event, taking place on Wednesday 24 March at the Jane Austen Room, Old Town Hall, Blagrave Street, Reading. It will run from 7.30pm until 9.30pm, and is open to everyone with an interest in epilepsy.
Mark McDaid, Epilepsy Action's regional services manager for the south west, said: “It would be wonderful if the Reading area could come together to support the development of a new Epilepsy Action branch. The branch will support those living with epilepsy as well as their families and carers. Please come along to support Epilepsy Action and help us develop new services in your area. Everyone is welcome.”

Meetings offer the opportunity for people to share their experiences of living with epilepsy and help to raise awareness of the condition in the local community.
