HOPE FOR EPILEPSY
Welcome to HOPE for Epilepsy, we are an award winning charity dedicated to supporting and connecting families with children that have been affected by Epilepsy living anywhere in the UK. We provide a safe space for families to socialise, reduce isolation, build relationships, share information, access support and guidance and most importantly for children to have fun!
WHAT WE DO
WE HELP FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AFFECTED BY EPILEPSY
Our team is made up of parents of children affected by epilepsy and epilepsy professionals including medical and educational professionals. We offer support through our three key initiatives: HOPE Family Support Sessions, HOPE Family Day Trips and our HOPE Anti-Suffocation Pillow Project.
HOPE FAMILY
SUPPORT SESSIONS
Our monthly sessions are held in a special needs school in North London, there are fantastic facilities for children to enjoy, we also provide entertainment
and food for all the family.
Sessions are free of charge and are a much needed chance for parents to meet other parents, talk to some of our medical experts or to enjoy some respite while volunteers take care of their children.
HOPE ANTI-SUFFOCATION
PILLOW PROJECT
Anti-Suffocation Pillows have ventilation holes. These allow better air flow around the face which helps a child to breathe more easily if they have a seizure while lying face down. These pillows can offer much needed peace of mind for the child and carers.
Through fundraising HOPE are able to offer FREE Anti-Suffocation Pillows to young people with epilepsy living in the UK.
HOPE
FAMILY DAY TRIPS
We offer fun days out and experiences for families as a form of respite. Outings can sometimes be stressful or overwhelming for our children and families, so we work closely with the venues to make sure that the visit is as seamless as possible.
We want children with epilepsy, and also their siblings, to be able to enjoy these experiences like other young people are able to do.
