About the Group

In February 2005, the need for a support group was identified by patients attending epilepsy clinics at the Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

 

Since then a group of enthusiastic volunteers have met regularly and the group has slowly grown and developed, providing a range of services based on the needs of our members.
