What difference will I make?
Children are being unnecessarily excluded from sport and physical activities due to misconceptions and a lack of understanding. They are left feeling isolated, angry and rejected.
Your support will help to develop research-backed guidance and support for sports clubs, teachers and parents. This will equip them with the knowledge and confidence to include children with epilepsy safely.
With the right support and the right care and guidance, children can be included. Understand their epilepsy and help them reach their potential.
You can be the difference between Cash being included and left out. Please help to ensure that children with epilepsy are included in sports and physical activities safely.
