Holly has benefitted from Epilepsy Action's befriending service

We are here because we believe that every person with epilepsy deserves to feel supported and reassured. No-one deserves to be alone and isolated.

Looking into the impact we are having across the UK helps us to see the crucial difference we are making, as well as showing the areas we can grow to support even more people.

Achieving measurable and meaningful impact is important to us, and we are continuing to grow our services in order to inspire everyone about the lives that are being transformed!
