What is Purple Day?
Purple Day takes place on Thursday 26th March. On this day, we’ll be actively raising awareness, starting conversations about epilepsy, and highlighting the risks associated with the condition.
Purple Day was founded in 2008 by Cassidy Megan from Canada, inspired by her own experience of living with epilepsy and her desire to help others better understand the condition.
Join us in raising awareness and fundraising on this international epilepsy awareness day, to support those living with epilepsy and to honour those who have lost their lives to epilepsy, including SUDEP.

How to go purple this year!
Get Your Community Together
Host a purple-themed tea morning or bake sale. Bake it purple and enjoy a cup of tea and cake, plus a chance to catch up with friends or colleagues while supporting a great cause and raising vital awareness.
Wear It Purple
Organise a “Wear Purple” day at your school, workplace, or among friends. Dressing down in purple is a fun way to raise awareness — and you could even turn it into a friendly competition to see who can wear the brightest or most creative purple outfit!
You can raise funds and awareness by setting up a fundraising page – click the link below to get started!
Purple Day
You are the heart of our community
Whether it’s striving for vital policy changes or being there for someone who has lost a loved one to epilepsy – the people who need us are at the heart of all we do.
Threaded through every campaign, email and support call is our heartfelt community. Because all that we do is about the people we are doing it for, whether that is those who have lost their lives to epilepsy or the families and loved ones who are left behind.
