The British Epilepsy Association was founded in 1950 to help and advise the 250,000 people in this country who suffer from epilepsy, and to enlighten the general public about this condition.

More than 1,000 people each year come to the Association's welfare department. Social clubs are established for the severely handicapped and a summer holiday is organised for young children.
