Summer is filled with moments to share with our friends and families.
If you live with epilepsy those moments are still yours to experience. With a little preparation and the right support, you can get out and about with confidence this summer.
Epilepsy can make travel plans tricky and stressful, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get to go. If you want to travel abroad, we’ve got lots of advice about travelling with epilepsy.
You can also watch our FREE Accessible Aviation: Supporting Confident and Dignified Air Travel for All Webinar.
We partnered with Virgin Atlantic Airways to explore topics including how to prepare for and navigate your journey and support during and after your flight.
Socialising can sometimes be loaded with worries. Worries about having a seizure in an unfamiliar environment and worries about what friends would do or say if they saw them have a seizure. But social events like festivals don’t have to be out of reach for people with epilepsy. If you’ve had your eye on that festival and wondered how to make it work, we share some tips to keep yourself safe and keep seizures at bay as much as possible.

Summer’s a great time to get out and fundraise. Be a hero and raise money for the thousands of people and families affected by epilepsy.
