Corporate partnerships

The Embridge team and wider family partnered with Young Epilepsy because, in their words, “because it’s at the very heart of Embridge Consulting.”  Their family ties supporting a child with epilepsy bought them to wish to do all they can to support the much-needed research to ensure children and their families have the support they need to have a quality life that each child deserves.  So as their chosen charity, we support them to raise awareness of Young Epilepsy with their customers, suppliers, employees’ and their families, through amazing challenge events, volunteering and other campaigns.
