Become a media volunteer

Here at Epilepsy Action we get a number of requests each week from the media, particularly from women's, health or family magazines, who wish to interview people with epilepsy who have a story to tell.

These stories are a good way to raise awareness and educate people about epilepsy and our services, and help other people with epilepsy and their families realise they are not alone.

If you're happy to help, then please let us know

Please don't forget to give us a daytime contact number or email address if you have one.

Please be aware that, although our press office can provide journalists with information about epilepsy, ultimately, we have no say in whether an article is printed and little control over the final printed version of an article.

Mothers in Mind: Healthy Births Campaign 2012

Epilepsy Action is looking for media volunteers to write about their pregnancy. We want to hear from women with epilepsy who are pregnant or have recently given birth. You could write one of our Pregnancy diaries, to guide other mums-to-be through pregnancy. From pregnancy worries, to parenthood concerns to things that make you laugh, we’d love to have you involved. Simply complete the media volunteer form and we’ll be in touch to tell you more about the campaign.

Epilepsy Action is also interested in hearing from men and women living in the UK who are willing to talk about any aspect of living with epilepsy including education, employment, health services and parenting.
