Epilepsy Action Reading & District Branch is set to move to a new, larger venue in June for their monthly meetings.
The meetings from the old Town Hall are moving to RISC at 35-39 London Street in Reading, near the Queen’s Road car park.
Susan Mistry, regional services manager for the South East, said: “The new venue has a larger capacity and will hopefully be more informal, but just as handy as it is still in the town centre. “
Barbara Hawkins, chair of the West London branch of Epilepsy Action, has won a national award in recognition of her work for the UK’s leading epilepsy charity.
The Epilepsy Action Branch Member of the Year Award will be presented to Barbara in a ceremony held at an epilepsy seminar on Monday, June 4 2007 from 7.15pm until 9.30pm at Ealing Town Hall.
Clive Edwards, additional support co-ordinator at Doncaster College, has been honoured with an Epilepsy Action Gold Award for Employment for helping to improve the lives of people with epilepsy.
Epilepsy Action is running the Gold Award for Employment scheme to mark this year’s National Epilepsy Week (May 20-26). The theme for National Epilepsy Week is employment. By running the award, the charity is recognising best practice and honouring employers who show understanding and help people with epilepsy to overcome difficulties in the workplace.
