The 25^th of March marks FND Awareness Day in the UK, where charities and groups from across the UK partner up to run campaigns to help raise much needed awareness of Functional Neurological Disorders (FND), including Non Epileptic Attack Disorder (NEAD). To learn more about FND visit www.neurosymptoms.org

FND Awareness Day UK was started in 2017, becoming the first national awareness day for the UK. The theme was #action4FND which involved campaigns such as distributing awareness packs, sharing stories and news, fundraising and spreading the word over social media platforms.

In 2018, seven FND related charities and groups in the UK partnered up to run campaigns with the theme #Voices4FND. The campaign drive was to give those diagnosed a voice by sharing their experiences via video (Click here to view), and get others talking about FND to help raise awareness and understanding.

This year our theme is #WeCare4FND. In addition to raising general awareness, our campaigns include highlighting the amazing effort, love and dedication of people, both adults and children, who care for someone who has been diagnosed with FND. This is particularly more difficult than the caring community of more commonly-known conditions given the current lack of awareness.

We want you to join us in getting involved in our campaigns and raising awareness to make a difference to hundreds of adult and children’s lives who are living with FND in the UK. See below for details on how you can get involved.
