OUR OBJECTIVES

• To support adults and children affected by Encephalitis, their families and carers by providing advice and information and working at an international level to improve services.

OUR VALUES

The Encephalitis Society is an organisation that was founded on the principle of mutual support. Our desire to influence change is informed by the direct experience of people affected by Encephalitis and their families and carers. Input from other contributors to the Society including our Members, Staff, Volunteers, and Trustees are key in our considerations.
