An event raising awareness to epilepsy is to be held in the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Inverness tomorrow.
The event is being run by members of Epilepsy Scotland’s helpline and information team who shall take up residence on the upper floor by Marks and Spencer between 11am and 3pm.
Over 55,000 people across Scotland suffer from epilepsy with around 3,300 of these estimated to hail from the Highlands.
Fact sheets, children’s books and occupational health guides will be available in a bid to educate people across Scotland about the ins and outs related to the medical condition.
Epilepsy Scotland’s helpline and information officer Stuart Macgee said: “We are delighted to be able to hold an information stall in Inverness.
“This is a great opportunity for people who have or know someone who has epilepsy to get vital information and support.
“This is the first of many information events that we will be holding throughout 2019 across all four corners of Scotland and is a great chance for Epilepsy Scotland to help as many people as possible and raise awareness of epilepsy.”
