About Us

Plymouth Epilepsy Support Group is a friendly support group run by people with epilepsy for people with epilepsy. Our aim is to support each other and guide people in Plymouth and surrounding areas, living with and/or caring for people with epilepsy and seizure disorders.

By supporting people, we aim to help improve their mental health and well-being, whilst decreasing social exclusion, isolation and encouraging friendship and independence.

We create activities that help with the mental health side of epilepsy (many people suffer deep depression and anxiety when diagnosed with epilepsy). To date these activities have included local walks, a day out and picnic on Mount Edgcumbe, the Camel Trail cycle ride, surfing in Newquay, social evenings, a sea fishing trip, fundraising days and many a coffee, laugh and chat together.

The group also offers advice on self-management including education on nutrition, exercise, relaxation and specialist guest speakers, all aimed at increasing health and wellbeing and making life with epilepsy easier to live with.
