Every Christmas...
Thousands of people with epilepsy face the season carrying worries most of us can’t see.
For Marnie, it’s the “invisible checklist” she runs through before every gathering.
For Andy, it’s the memory of a “deleted Christmas,” lost to a seizure on New Year’s Eve.
And for Anita, it’s the fear of another public seizure — the embarrassment, the confusion, the quiet wish to disappear.
At a time meant for warmth, laughter, and connection, too many people with epilepsy feel anxious, isolated, or unseen.
But your kindness can change that.
Your gift brings hope — and real support
This Christmas, your donation could help fund the Epilepsy Action Wellbeing Pack — a lifeline for people who may be struggling with the emotional and practical challenges of epilepsy.
The pack helps people feel calmer, more connected, and more confident about managing their condition, especially during stressful times of year.
It includes:
Wellbeing Puzzle Book – gentle, mindful activities to help reduce stress and encourage relaxation.
Free access to our online course: “Epilepsy and Your Wellbeing” – part of the Epilepsy Action Learning programme, empowering people to understand and manage the impact of epilepsy on their mental health.
Key resources on epilepsy and wellbeing – expert guidance to help people build resilience and take practical steps towards better self-care.
Supportive wellbeing videos – real stories and advice from people who understand what it’s like to live with epilepsy.
A check-in call with our helpline team – offering a listening ear, reassurance, and, if needed, a match with one of our trained Befrienders for ongoing connection and support.
Potential to join a Time & Space (T&S) event – creating safe spaces for people to share experiences, build friendships, and feel part of a community that truly understands.
