A VOLUNTEER group are hosting an advice session for people affected by epilepsy.

The Epilepsy Support Group will hold the meeting at the Southend Adult Community College on Ambleside Drive from 7.30pm on Monday, March 26.

It is hoped that people who suffer from the illness, which is caused by a chemical imbalance, can meet others in a similar situation.

A presentation will take place to raise understanding of the condition, with a general discussion giving visitors the opportunity share their own personal experiences.
