We exist to improve the lives of children and young people with the condition to enable them to fulfill their potential and ensure they have the best quality of life.

What we do:

With over 100 years expertise, we provide world class diagnosis, assessment and rehabilitation for children and young people with epilepsy. We also undertake research into the condition and how it can be treated.

Our unique blend of specialist services includes a school, college and residential services providing education and healthcare for children and young people with epilepsy, autism and other neurological conditions.

We also provide a range of support and information for parents, children and young people and training for professionals. It campaigns for better access to, and quality of, health and education services, and to raise awareness and increase understanding of epilepsy.

Why we need you:

We have one mission – to create better futures for children and young people living with epilepsy. It is only through fundraising support that we are able to achieve so much for young people with epilepsy and their families.

Epilepsy affects 112,700 young people in the UK and is one of the most common serious long term conditions in childhood. At Young Epilepsy, we advocate for positive change in attitudes across society and towards greater understanding of the condition. We campaign for improved specialist support for children, young people and their families in our health, education and social care systems. We exist to create a society where children and young people with epilepsy are enabled to thrive and fulfil their potential and a society in which their voices are respected and their ambitions realised.
