About Us
Young Epilepsy is the children and young people's epilepsy charity.

Our purpose is to create a society in which children and young people with epilepsy are enabled to thrive and fulfil their potential, in which their voices are respected, and their ambitions realised.

We work with children and young people across the country, as well as many of those people and organisations who shape their lives - parents, health and care professionals, researchers, teachers, policymakers and more.

Informed by young people and drawing on our strong legacy of expertise in education, health

and research, we have developed and published our new strategy. This focuses

our work around 4 offers; Learning, Health, Research and Information, with firm foundations in our three value statements:

Young people are at the centre of everything we do
We work together to make a greater difference
We are courageous and ambitious for change

These values will ensure that we always put the voices, the rights and the best interests of

children and young people first and commit us to working in partnerships that can increase

our impact. They also ensure that we are inspired by the courage and ambition of the young

people with whom we work, knowing that together, we can drive the change in society and

services we all want to see.
