We are over the moon to receive £10,000 from the The Hospital Saturday Fund to support our Counselling service. This vital funding will allow us to continue providing free counselling sessions for people affected by Epilepsy, including family and carers.

Huge thanks to Warren and June for all of their support during the application process!

Supporting Emotional Wellbeing & Resilience 💜

We are delighted to award a £10,000.00 grant to Epilepsy Connections to support their vital epilepsy counselling service.

Their trained counsellors provide a safe, confidential space where individuals can explore difficult emotions and trauma, and develop practical coping strategies. By strengthening emotional wellbeing and resilience, this service helps people regain confidence, improve relationships, and better manage the daily challenges of living with epilepsy.

We are proud to support this important work making a real difference in people’s lives.

Did you know that epilepsy can affect emotions just as much as the body?

People experience different emotional reactions before, during and after seizures that can affect day-to-day life. This is a part of epilepsy that is not talked enough about.

On International Wellness Day, we recognise the importance of wellbeing 💜
For those living with Epilepsy, wellness includes not only physical health, but also mental wellbeing, support systems, and lifestyle management.
Awareness and understanding help create a more inclusive approach to health for everyone

Some seizures can be brought on by a specific trigger or stimulus - this is known as reflex epilepsy. 💜

These triggers can be different for every individual so trying to understand as much as possible if important for creating inclusive environments.

Plot 68 is a great way to meet and befriend other people who are connected to epilepsy. If this is something that interests you, please contact the office using one of:
