Imagine having to deal with depression, panic attacks, anxiety as well as epileptic seizures. For people like Richard (above) this is the reality, and why our helpline is a lifeline for people with epilepsy.

"I’ve always used the helpline for somebody to talk to who understands all about epilepsy and speaks to you in that calm way, that doesn’t rush you. It’s a helpline that we need." Richard

We are answering around 3,000 calls every year from people like Richard who have no where else to turn to. If we opened five days a week, we could answer an estimated 2,000 additional calls every year from people who urgently need our support. Please send a gift today to help us be at the end of the phone for people who have nowhere else to turn for the support they need.

A generous donor will match your gift to help us raise the final £125,000 we need to open our helpline five days a week. Your gift will be matched as long as we receive your donation by 31st December 2019. Visit http://bit.ly/2OOUyzt
