Room to Let
A couple of weekends ago Kathryn and I had the pleasure of attending an Epilepsy Action London Forum meeting at UCL. What we experienced was truly moving, a group of people with epilepsy willing to talk to us openly about their lives. This involved laughter, tears and then more laughter. What an amazing group of individuals.
Marie, who is the Regional Services Manager for the South East told us how difficult it was for her to find the space she needs to hold these meetings. After exchanging emails with her for a few days, she sent me this message:
“I am interested in the footnote to your email about a desk in London. We sometimes need meeting places in London for committees – 8-10 people for about 2hrs is this something that this message might apply to? ”
I replied in the affirmative. We are now hosting three meetings for Epilepsy Action at our offices over the course of the year. We are pleased and proud to be getting something a little different out of our patient-centric ethic: the chance to help people directly, even when we’re not at work!
