About The Meath Epilepsy Charity

If you or someone you care for is living with complex epilepsy, then we are here to help…

We recognise ability which means that the people that we support are enabled to live as independently as possible, challenge themselves and to fulfil their potential. This positive ‘can do’ culture is shared by the people we support, staff and volunteers alike across our broad range of services and facilities.

Our very special community is located in a stunning setting and boasts fantastic facilities in central Godalming. The Meath’s beautiful Grade II listed manor house, together with other higher-needs modern annex houses and the Skills Centre are all set in landscaped grounds.

Our location is both peaceful yet close to local amenities and the main line train station. We are proud to be at the heart of our local community and to enjoy strong links with the town.

"I am much happier now I live at the Meath because the staff understand me. My Key Worker is Dan, he knows I like a laugh and gets my sense of humour. My disability is always on my mind but when I sing with the Meath choir I feel good. I wish I could stand. Using the standing frame and having more freedom in the pool during hydrotherapy makes me feel better, I feel less aware of my disability."

"I'm blind & have a sensory condition called Neuropathy as well as epilpsy. I have two spinal rods in my back and i use a wheechair. I'm very determined to make the most of a tough life. I don't want pity, but i would love for people to understand how much the support i get from The Meath means to me. I have hydro and physiotherapy which keep me mobile and they make me feel good."

The Meath recognises ability.

We are especially proud of the friendly, vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that awaits your visit. Our positive and energetic culture is found in the smiles of each person we support and those who support them. What we have is very special and we never, ever, take it for granted.
