The charity relies heavily on support from individuals who donate their time voluntarily to work in either of the charity shops or to assist with our fundraising projects and events.
I live with nocturnal epilpesy as all my generalised seizure have arisen in sleep. I have begun to experience myoclonic symptoms which are being investigated. These are beginning to affect my sleep. My seizures I believe begun due to stress in my life and the sheer emotional pain.
I had my first child in november 2017, I lost my father in April 2018 and in November 2018, I’d had a minor car accident on the night of my first siezure and it was grandmother funeral the next day.

After 6 months it was felt to be a one off, but I had my second In September 2019. Again it was the night of a stressful experience.

All my subsequent seizure occur from stress events in the day.
