SUDEP Action

The only UK charity specialised in supporting & involving people bereaved by epilepsy, dedicated to raising awareness of epilepsy risks & tackling all epilepsy deaths.

SUDEP Action is the only UK charity focused on stopping preventable epilepsy-related deaths. We have the only epilepsy bereavement service freely available to anyone suddenly bereaved by epilepsy (including by SUDEP, Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) – offering telephone support, counselling, expert help through inquests & investigations, and involvement in research through our Epilepsy Deaths Register. With 3-decades experience in supporting the bereaved and fighting to stop deaths – we know the importance of working together to help others.

By representing the voices of those who have died and who are bereaved, we aim to learn from deaths, and use research, policy and campaigns to raise awareness & take action that helps save lives. Our supporters and volunteers are our heart – helping us raise awareness, funds & sharing their powerful personal experiences to drive our work forward.  

How Your Support Helps

Supporting SUDEP Action means standing with families at their darkest moment and helping to prevent other lives being lost too soon. Every week in the UK, people die because of epilepsy — many of them unexpectedly, and many in ways that could have been prevented. Behind every death is a devastated family searching for answers.

Your support helps ensure no one must face that pain alone. SUDEP Action provides the UK’s only free, specialist epilepsy bereavement service, offering understanding, compassion and expert support after a sudden epilepsy death. For many families, this lifeline is the first place they feel truly heard and supported.

Together, we can reduce preventable deaths and create a future where fewer families must experience this heartbreak.

Thank you for helping SUDEP Action make a difference.
