Why Get Involved?

In our 2023 survey report young people with epilepsy, and their parents, told us about their experiences of epilepsy support at school.

  • 1 in 3

    children with epilepsy do not get the support they need at school

    They are unnecessarily missing out on their childhood and their futures are being put at risk, because people don’t understand epilepsy and how it can be different for everyone.

  • Only 1/3

    of school staff feel confident managing a seizure in a classroom

    This highlights the need for better education and training to ensure the safety and well-being of students with epilepsy.

  • 42%

    of people with epilepsy age 16-59 are unemployed

    This shows that we need to create more job opportunities and support for people with epilepsy to help them find work.

Fun and educational activities

By taking part in Purple Day, your school can help raise vital funds and awareness, ensuring that those living with epilepsy receive the support they need. Plus, it’s a fun and educational way to engage students in a meaningful cause.

The fundraising pack includes a variety of activities designed to educate and engage students. Host a purple-themed non-uniform day by wearing purple and donating a pound. Use our assembly and lesson plans to teach students about epilepsy and the importance of supporting those affected by it.
