Young Person Residential Weekend

The Young Person Residential Weekend took place at the Hollowford Centre, Derbyshire, from August 27 to 29. The weekend was a chance for children, young people and their families to join us for a weekend featuring outdoor adventure activities and focus groups.

The weekend was funded by UAP Limited and MCF Foundation.

My Brain and Me

My Brain and Me, which has been funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, is a unique project designed to share stories and experiences of encephalitis through a series of short films. 

The Retreat

The Retreat is a residential event held by the Encephalitis Society every other year designed to bring together people affected by encephalitis, their family members and carers in a safe, relaxing and supportive space. The 2021 event was supported by The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust, Friendly Hand, The de Laszlo Foundation, and The Marguerite Foundation.
