Twelve Epilepsy Action branches based in south east England joined together to celebrate the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy organisation’s Diamond Jubilee on 7 August 2010.
The Jubilee Joliday was arranged to recognise and thank the volunteers for their hard work in the region. It also provided a networking opportunity where the volunteers could swop hints and tips on running a local branch. Others just wanted to meet someone else with epilepsy and discuss their experiences.
