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 June 23 in Sainsbury’s, Regents Road, Salford.
The aim of the tin collection is to raise funds for the volunteer led support group in the area. The Epilepsy Action Salford Branch meets on the third Tuesday in every month at 7.00 pm in the Patricroft Working Men’s Club, Leigh Street, Patricroft, Eccles.
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 in Accrington affected by epilepsy 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 Rita or Annie Thompson.
