About Epilepsy Action

..Epilepsy Action is the largest member-led epilepsy organisation in Britain, acting as the voice for the UK's estimated 600,000 people with epilepsy, as well as their friends, families, carers, health professionals and the many other people on whose lives the condition has an impact.

As well as campaigning to improve epilepsy services and raise awareness of the condition, we offer assistance to people in a number of ways including a national network of branches, accredited volunteers, regular regional conferences and freephone and email helplines.

We have local Epilepsy Action ‘Talk and Support’ groups meeting monthly in Thurrock and Basildon.

Meetings are open to anyone affected by epilepsy including family and carers.

We aim to offer a friendly face and listening ear to all who come.

Attendance should ideally be booked in advance.

For those without internet access they should call Epilepsy Action 0113 210 8899 to reserve a place.

Otherwise go to Epilepsy Action website:

www.epilepsy.org.uk and follow links to support groups where they will be able to select the group and book via an app called Eventbrite, if they choose to ‘follow’ the group they should get reminders of future meetings.
