At The Brain Charity, we champion neurodiversity and help anyone affected by a neurological condition to pick up the pieces so they can rebuild their lives and achieve their potential. For someone newly diagnosed with a neurological condition, life may become very lonely and frightening. People can lose control of their lives and many face unemployment, poverty and social isolation. There are more than 600 different conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord or nervous system - The Brain Charity is the only charity in the UK to be here for every single one of them.
Epilepsy can be one of the most frightening and isolating conditions a child can experience. There’s a loss of all sense of safety – not knowing when and where their next seizure will happen, who’ll be there and whether they’ll be hurt. We’ve led the way in an inclusive, progressive and nurturing approach to the education and support of children and young people with epilepsy.
