Purple day, 26 March
The 26 March is Purple day, a time to get people talking about epilepsy, raise awareness of the condition and raise vital funds.
Keep the conversation going
There’s no escaping the fact that Purple day may look a little different this year. However, in 2021 there are still so many ways to start a conversation and so many ways you can make a difference.
Our income has been heavily impacted during the coronavirus pandemic and it’s now more important than ever that we keep the conversation about epilepsy going. Through holding a virtual event, taking on a personal challenge or organising a COVID compliant event you can be the conversation starter and help support our services and research continue throughout 2021 and beyond.
