Good Evening

just a reminder that we have a parent/carers event taking place on Monday at Middleton Shopping Centre. This is an event which is run by Jeanette Don who is very passionate in supporting others in the community in regards Epilepsy.

If possible please can we get behind this and show her some support on this venture as there is a huge need for this long term wise for all families and can be a great way to meet others who are going through/ have been through the same things as you.

Thank you, Mike

Lets celebrate Disabilities!!! Having a disability is difficult however, it can sometimes make us who we are and define us as a person. Disabilities come in a whole array of ways and they don't always need to be seen to be understood.

Epilepsy is a prime example of this as not all seizures are visual, convulsive and on show for the whole world to see. This can make it very challenging for others to understand it and see it as a true disability. However, no matter how big or small your disability may be or how it effects you we need to celebrate it and allow you to shine like the star you are born to be!!! 🌟🌟
