Dravet Syndrome UK has launched the Little Moments Matter Awards today (Monday 23 June), a new initiative designed to recognise and celebrate outstanding health, social care, and education professionals who provide vital support to families affected by Dravet Syndrome. The awards are being unveiled today to mark International Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day – a day dedicated globally to raising awareness of this complex and lifelong condition.
Dravet Syndrome is a rare and life-changing neurological condition and presents significant challenges to families, who must manage intricate care needs while navigating multiple systems including healthcare, social services, and education.

Galia Wilson, Chair of Trustees at Dravet Syndrome UK said “We know that families living with Dravet Syndrome face challenges every day and it is often the compassion, dedication, and small acts of kindness from professionals that make the biggest difference. With the Little Moments Matter Awards, we want to shine a light on those unsung heroes whose support helps families feel seen and empowered.”
Nominations are now open for families living with Dravet Syndrome, their friends, and wider networks to enter a deserving professional. If you know a professional in the UK who has gone above and beyond, we invite you to nominate them using our shortonline nomination formby Sunday 31 August.
