Fundraising
There are various ways for you to help raise funds towards our mission to suppport epilepsy awareness. We have list some suggestions below and you’re also more than welcome to contact me for more details or advice.
Help Us Raise
Epilepsy Awareness
If you, or a family member or a friend has been affected by epilepsy, please donate however much you can so that we can raise the awareness of epilepsy to the public on a national level.
Become a Volunteer
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.

Caleb is an eight year old boy who suffers with so many seizures each day that doctors have said he is at high risk of SUDEP, his parents made a plea to help to prolong his life. He was a perfectly normal little boy living a very normal life until he began having seizures overnight on August 2,2019.

Caleb was invited to the US where he was diagnosed with focal cortical dysplasia – a type of epilepsy that occurs in the frontal lobe following an abnormality in the brain. According to medical experts it is the most common reason for drug-resistant epilepsy. Caleb remained in hospital in the US for three weeks while he underwent two operations to remove damaged brain tissue.

He needed to have further surgery so his parents started a go fund me and tried desperately to raise the funds that Caleb needed for his surgery.

Like a Christmas miracle on the 14th of December 2023 they reached their goal and Caleb is getting his surgery in January! There is still a long path to take for Caleb and his family but they are hopeful that this brain surgery will help Caleb!
