Dear Sir,

Have your readers been inspired by the Great British Bake Off? Their time in the kitchen whipping up biscuits, puddings or cakes could make a real difference to people with epilepsy.

Epilepsy Action’s Tea Break is on Friday 18 October. People up and down the nation will be popping the kettle on and rolling out their best bakes. The tea parties will raise money to support people with epilepsy in the UK. One in 100 people live with the condition which can be life-altering.

Every cup of tea and sweet treat sold at an Epilepsy Action Tea Break will raise vital funds to support the charity’s vital work. Whether it’s through our experts on the Epilepsy Action Helpline or our network of local support groups, we’re here when people with epilepsy need us. More than that, we are the voice for people with epilepsy, speaking up to ensure people with epilepsy get the best health services and support possible.

Holding your own Epilepsy Action Tea Break couldn’t be simpler. Everyone who signs up by 14 October will get a handy toolkit, filled with baking inspiration and ways to make their event a success. For a free pack, visit epilepsy.org.uk/teabreak or call 0113 210 8851.

Yours faithfully

Natalie Warnock
