NCYPE is a National Registered Charity No. 311877, established in 1963. It is the UK’s major provider of specialist services for children and young people with complex epilepsy and other neurological disorders. It provides a day and residential school and further education college, an on-site medical centre, epilepsy assessment and rehabilitation outreach service.
