This is the website for the Peterborough Fundraising Group for the national charity, Young Epilepsy.
Formerly known as The National Centre for Young People with Epilepsy, the Young Epilepsy charity launched its new name on 1 November 2011. The charity supports the 112,000 children and young people under 25 with epilepsy in the UK.
We know there is a huge demand for information and support for parents and professionals and a need to improve access to, and quality of, health and education services. The charity has developed a new range of services since 2008 including our helpline, health information resources, training courses for professionals in health, social care and education and the promotion of good practice in schools. We are now forming a network of parent support groups which we plan to roll out nationally.
The Peterborough Fundraising Group will be organising a series of events and fundraising activities to help raise funds for Young Epilepsy so that it can continue is vital work. Of course, to make these events as successful as possible it is very important we involve the local community so we are looking for volunteers to help us build awareness of the charity's aims.
With your help we really can make a difference so please contact us to find out how you become part of the Peterborough Fundraising Group for Young Epilepsy.
