Mersey Region Epilepsy Association

We are an independent charity working towards improving the quality of life for people with epilepsy and their families across Merseyside and Cheshire. For over 60 years, we’ve been providing a free and confidential community service which aims to give support and information on a personal basis.

If you have epilepsy one of the best places to live is in Liverpool and the connected areas in the north west of England. This is because the city of Liverpool is home of two international centres of clinical excellence for the treatment of epilepsy. The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust caters for the adult population and Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust for the youngsters. We also have the University of Liverpool performing world-leading epilepsy research.

Our website provides information on many aspects of epilepsy and we will continue to update the website as advances are made on all fronts. We have exciting plans for the future of the MREA, which will always be directed to support people with epilepsy.
