Charities

The Voice for Epilepsy’s mission is to spread awareness and be an advocate for those who do not have a voice or are afraid to speak out. The purpose of this charity is to raise awareness of epilepsy, building a community of shared experiences giving individuals a voice to connect and feel supported. The Voice for Epilepsy aims to help individuals with epilepsy to connect and fight; to ensure not another moment is lost to seizures. To offer education about seizure recognition, seizure first aid and increase understanding about epilepsy in general. To help combat the isolation often associated with epilepsy and to encourage individuals and families to start opening their windows to the world without feeling vulnerable. To establish a principle that epilepsy creates unity and builds strong bonds. We need to educate people what to do and what not to do when someone is having a seizure, to encourage concerned authorities to take action to improve the lives of people with epilepsy and to provide communities, schools and workplaces with sessions, courses, seminars and presentations to educate on the basics of epilepsy.
