Emma Griffith from Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, has won a place in history after being chosen to represent the charity, Epilepsy Society, as part of a special public art installation in London.

What a way to start the New Year. Twelve-year-old Zach Eagling – the boy who took on the online trolls and won – has been named as the first winner of the Prime Minister’s Points of Light Award for 2024.

The Epilepsy Society has welcomed the passing of Zach's Law, which means it will become a criminal offence for anyone to try to trigger a seizure in someone with epilepsy by targeting them with flashing images online.

For over three years, Zach Eagling, Claire Keer and the Epilepsy Society have fought for Zach's Law. Today, the journey is over. The Online Safety Bill, including Zach's Law, has passed. At last the online trolls will be silenced.

The Epilepsy Society is today calling for the NHS to provide free dental repairs to teeth damaged by seizures.

Losing teeth due to a seizure can not only ruin a smile, it can risk ruining confidence too. In the latest in our #FixIt4Free personal stories, we learn how Toby's life changed after a series of seizures.
