I felt really angry and upset because all of my friends could go but me. I wasn’t allowed to go to football camp just because I have epilepsy.

I can play sport and so can everybody else. You just need to understand my epilepsy

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.  

Your support is worth DOUBLE!  

This Summer we’ve teamed up with a major donor to help children like Cash. Every pound you donate between 17 June – 5 July will be matched by the donor, so your donation is worth DOUBLE! That’s double your impact.

Meet Cash

When the football camp Cash was so excited to join turned him away because of his epilepsy, it broke his heart. All of his friends got to go but he was denied access.   You can read more about Cash's story in his blog.

Children with epilepsy face unnecessary exclusion from sports and physical activities due to misconceptions and a lack of understanding. They miss out on the physical, emotional and social benefits that sports provide.

Every pound donated brings us closer to a world where no child is left on the sidelines.
