MREA also organises different group and club meetings to provide support, information and social events related to epilepsy, as well as training and education sessions to increase awareness and understanding of epilepsy.

We pride ourselves on offering a free service - we want to be truly accessible to people with epilepsy and their families throughout the region. And to continue to provide that service, we rely on voluntary contributions. To see how you can help, click here. Membership details are also available.
