Sunday Sounds

So many of us find happiness through music. People who have severe epilepsy are no different. In late 2023 two of our members ran the Manchester half marathon, and raised over £13,000. This money is funding a monthly concert series, attended regularly by over 100 people. Home made cakes and refreshments are provided by FFES members, and we’ve invited bands from all over the country to entertain us.

The result? Smiles, happiness, laughter and fun! What we’ve found to be particularly wonderful is that at each concert more and more of our loved ones, supported either by their care staff or family member, are taking part in the sessions, either through dancing, or perhaps shaking a musical instrument.

It’s a very happy vibe!
