Epilepsy Action provides full fundraising support with resources and advice, as well as helpful hints on how to raise money.

The money you raise from taking part in a fundraising event for Epilepsy Action will enable us to continue providing advice and support to the 456,000 people in the UK with epilepsy, as well as their friends, families and carers. You’ll also be helping us raise awareness of a condition that is often misunderstood.
