Family Support Meetings

Shropshire Epilepsy Support holds a free, monthly family support group designed to give fun, short (1-2hrs), respite breaks to school aged children who are in some way affected by epilepsy.

It could be either the parents who have epilepsy or the children themselves, ALL of the family is welcome.

This isn't a group where we just sit down and talk endlessly about epilepsy! This is about making new friends who are in similar situations, gaining advice from them and at the same time joining in with all the great activities.

The parents/carers are able to either join in or sit down and enjoy catching up with the others.

 We provide a safe area for all to enjoy. Each month we hold a different activity so it is always exciting and fun. Because of this we don't have a set premises as such, instead we either hire out a room in Shrewsbury town, or we go to local businesses.
