Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led charity, is holding a tin collection and advice and information day from 10.30am until 4 pm in on Saturday May 26 in The Admiral Shopping Centre, Nelson.
The aim of the tin collection is to raise funds for the volunteer led support group in the area. The Epilepsy Action Pendle Branch meets on the second Monday in every month at 7.15 pm in the Marsden Centre, Rigby Street, Nelson.
Epilepsy Action staff and volunteers will be available at the advice and information day to answer questions about epilepsy in confidence and advise on local branch activity. Anyone with an interest is invited to come along and find out how to support the local branch.
Annie Thompson, regional services manager said: ‘People usually just ‘drop in’ and ask questions. In the past, advice and information days have attracted all sorts of people, including families, teachers, nurses and carers. It will give people affected by epilepsy in the Nelson area an opportunity to find out useful information”.
Anyone who is interested in joining the support group or would like to find out more but cannot attend on the day should contact Annie Thompson 01904 426479 or Bob 01282 865870 or Denise 01282 616317.
