Together, we raised over £220k in 2026. Thank you so much to everyone who took part and helped make a huge difference in the lives of children and young people with epilepsy.

Purple Day is a key time to raise awareness of epilepsy and the challenges children and young people living with epilepsy face every day.  

For Purple Day, hundreds of individuals, schools, community groups, and businesses are coming together to join #TeamPossible. Let's unite and support children living with epilepsy.

Nearly every hour

This year, we'll share simple, real stories that show how seizures can feel frightening - before, during or after - for many children and families. We often hear how scary these moments can be, and by helping others understand this, the campaign highlights an important truth: nearly every hour, another child in the UK is diagnosed with epilepsy.

See what we did in 2026

Turn fear Into hope

With your support, anything is possible. You can make a real difference in the lives of children with epilepsy like Lilly.
