What our sponsors say

At Leigh Day we were struck by the Society’s professionalism , passion and personal approach, and saw that by working with its team we can improve the quality of life for people like our clients affected by this disease. We have seen first-hand the devastating effects that encephalitis can have and the struggles our clients and their families face as a result.
