At least 21 people die from an epilepsy death in the UK every week

We are the leading epilepsy death prevention and bereavement support charity in the UK. We were the first to recognise epilepsy mortality as preventable and the first to give SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) a name.

We are committed to working to stop deaths from epilepsy.

We offer the only specialised epilepsy bereavement services in the world and lead on ground-breaking, potentially life-saving research.

We welcome enquiries from charitable trusts and foundations who are interested in our work.

  • Providing information and support to children and young people with epilepsy as well as their families
  • Leading dedicated research into the causes and prevention of SUDEP
  • Helping those bereaved by epilepsy to carry on and rebuild their lives
