What We Do

The Daisy Garland is a charity working exclusively for children and families whose lives have been touched by drug-resistant epilepsy.  Set up in 2004 in memory of our daughter, Daisy, The Daisy Garland provide positive support for some of the 18,000 children in the UK who suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy. We are mindful of the complex needs of families whose children have epilepsy - we have first-hand experience and we are here to help. The help we offer is life-changing and wide ranging.

Our vital support:

  • transforms lives
  • breaks down loneliness and isolation
  • helps reduce the risk of SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy)
  • increases epilepsy and ketogenic awareness 
  • empowers parents and carers
  • improves mental health
  • brings hope to despairing families
