Epilepsy Society

Epilepsy Society We are the UK’s only charity transforming the lives of people with epilepsy through world-leading research, advocacy and care. We are here for you.

People are at the heart of everything that we do; and we hope to see the day when epilepsy is irrelevant. Our vision is a full life for everyone affected by epilepsy. We want everyone affected by epilepsy to have the best opportunity for a full life – as free from seizures as possible. We set out to make a difference to every person affected by epilepsy whatever their background, however seriously

it affects them, and whether they have the condition themselves or are close to someone with epilepsy.

Introducing our record breaking 2026 London Marathon Team… This group of heroes have raised over £240,000 to help us be here for the 630,000 people living with epilepsy.

We loved cheering them on and meeting them after the race to say thank you. Tears of pride were shed and many a glass was raised in celebration of their achievements.

We’re nearing the end of another inspiring London marathon. Our runners have done fantastically and we’re so proud of them for their huge efforts running the marathon and raising money.

Here’s Kara, who ran for us today, articulating what motivated her to run for Epilepsy Society. Like so many of our runners, she has very personal connection to epilepsy.

Thanks to everyone who ran for us, as well as all those who turned out to give their support, it’s been a phenomenal day. 💜💜💜

Viewers of EastEnders last night saw a dramatic car crash storyline that also featured Nugget having a tonic clonic seizure.

Working with advice from Epilepsy Society, the producers took care to show the background to Nugget’s seizure. Seizures can have many triggers and sometimes none. In this case, Nugget’s seizure followed a period of intense emotional stress surrounding his father’s breakdown.

If you’re worried that stress might be making your seizures more likely, concerned about a specific trigger, or simply need general advice and support, our helpline is here for you. We offer practical information alongside confidential, compassionate support for anyone affected by epilepsy.
