Story

Our charity is committed to ensuring that every child and young adult with treatment-resistant epilepsy has access to this life-changing treatment. Through fundraising efforts and the generosity of our supporters, we provide financial assistance to families in need, helping them cover the costs associated with privately prescribed medicinal cannabis.

Many children's lives have been transformed by prescribed medicinal cannabis, it reduces seizures and gives children a better quality of life.

About the charity

Intractable Epilepsy Charity

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1199192
The charity funds prescription costs of medicinal cannabis for those with Intractable Epilepsy when prescribed by a specialist clinician on the GMC register and in line with NHS guidance. Many of these children and young adults suffer hundreds of devastating seizures every day. Nearly all have exhausted the traditional pharmaceutical anti-epileptic drugs. Medicinal cannabis is the only medicine that helps. Medicinal cannabis has been legal in the UK since 2018, but access on the NHS remains blocked. So the families have to cope with the immense strain of fundraising up to £2,000 a month to access it privately and deal with the daily care of their sick children. Imagine if this was your child. Please help us to help them. Your donations will support the families to continue getting the medicine they so desperately need.
