Throughout 2020 and the lockdowns due to COVID-19, the Encephalitis Society held virtual meetings for members as a fun way to come together in self-isolation.

Feedback from attendees showed that the community love having a place to gather every week to share stories and experiences, no matter where they are from in the world. From 2021 we are continuing to host a weekly meeting with one of the support team as part of our regular offering, and are hosting an additional meeting for specific parts of the community once a month.

2021 meeting schedule:

Every Thursday 4-5pm (GMT) – weekly gathering, open to all (with a member of the support team), starting Thursday 7^th January, 2021

Last Wednesday of each month, 6-7pm (GMT) specific groups as advertised below (with a member of the support team, and volunteer with relevant experiences):

• Wednesday January 27^th 6-7pm (GMT) for people affected by encephalitis
• Wednesday February 24^th 6-7pm (GMT) for 18s and under, affected by encephalitis
• Wednesday March 31st 6-7pm (GMT) for family members, carers and support networks
