Epilepsy Action - we exist to improve the lives of everyone affected by epilepsy
“I've used Epilepsy Action and they have been brilliant and been there for all my family” – Epilepsy Action helpline user.
Sometimes talking to someone makes all the difference. Our freephone Epilepsy Helpline is a lifeline to those who call. Last year, it was just one way we supported nearly 1.1 million people with epilepsy, their families and medical staff.
Our thousands of members and supporters make us the UK’s voice of people living with epilepsy. We use this strength to fight for a fair chance to get a good education and a job, to receive the right care and to live without stigma.
Your donation will be providing free life-changing advice, campaigning for better services, placing specialist nurses and doing vital research. Thank you.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
What if I change my mind?
Simply by completing a donation form, you can choose to support Railway Children, directly from your pay.
