If you or a family member has epilepsy and you'd like to talk to others, why not come along to one of our groups and club meetings?

We have a network of affiliated groups and clubs throughout the region who meet regularly to provide support, information and social events.

Group and clubs receive regular news and updates about epilepsy from MREA office, and MREA also organises two group outings a year, one of them our annual general meeting. Groups and clubs also have a say in the official voice of the Association - via a Group Leader's Forum which meets twice yearly with MREA to strengthen contact.
