Young Epilepsy
THE STATS
103
Approximately 600,000 people in the UK have epilepsy which is equivalent to around 1 in 103 people.
40
There are at least 40 different seizure types and people may have one or several different seizure types.
THE PROJECT
Young Epilepsy is the UK’s largest organisation for young people with epilepsy.
According to them, a lack of understanding of epilepsy is one of the biggest frustrations young people with epilepsy face. People just don’t ‘get it’.
Childhood epilepsy is frightening, isolating and often a misunderstood condition. We work with children and young people with epilepsy, to ensure their voices are heard and their rights protected.
They commissioned us to create a series of films to tell the story and show the impact of what life is like with Epilepsy. They wanted us to highlight how isolating and frightening it can be to have epilepsy, but also to show there is support for sufferers of the condition. This was a challenging shoot, as not only did we have to ensure the studio and our team was well briefed on working with the contributors (who may need extra time considerations), but the topics we covered ranged from bullying at school, intimacy and relationships, and mental health.
Working on this sort of content is the reason why Tusko exists. To talk about the big issues that matter for people. To tell and share stories that try to make a difference.

If you want to create a website then you’ve come to the right place. You might also want to consider content creation to populate your website.
At Tusko there’s nothing more we like better than to give a prominent voice to the unsaid, the hidden and the marginalised. We use our creativity and compassion through film-making, design and words to make sure the right messages get in front of the right people at the right time. We love to work with purpose led organisations to help amplify their voice and make a positive impact in the world.
