About our groups
Too busy to meet in person? No means of transport? If you’re struggling to attend an in-person meeting, don’t worry!
Our online Talk and support groups are a great way of connecting with others online who have experiences of epilepsy, in a safe and relaxed environment.
Our groups provide a chance to share stories and gain valuable insight about how others manage their epilepsy.
