Have you got the skills, experiences and passion to enable people to understand epilepsy within your area?
If so, then why don’t you contact us to find out more about charity volunteering, including local branches, fundraising opportunities and our volunteer training programme, accredited at level two by the Open College Network
The national network (based in England, Wales and Northern Ireland) of volunteers gives presentations and talks about epilepsy, to local care home staff, council workers, businesses and schools.
Volunteering for our charity, Epilepsy Action, will enable you as a volunteer, to spread the word about epilepsy throughout your local neighbourhood, attend local conferences and speak about the services that Epilepsy Action provides.
It can help you build your confidence, gain valuable experiences as a charity volunteer, and improve your own personal knowledge of epilepsy – you might want to be a nurse, train as a teacher, a carer or just want to spend some of your free time helping people understand epilepsy.
“David’s presentation and supporting material was wholly professional and extremely informative” Cartref Homes, Sittingbourne.

On March the 9th 2012 my brother Gerald would be 35 if not for the tragic way in which he died. So many of us take our health and life for granted, whilst others live a life with limitations that can affect theirs. Yet people like my brother never seen these limitations and lived life every day to the fullest like we all should! Charities like epilepsy need all the help they can to make people aware of epilepsy and not to be frightened, but to openly talk about how it affects individuals and families. This is a worth while cause that I feel needs all the help it can generate, so that research can progress and help those with epilepsy. I made a promise to my brother that one day I would do my part in helping others and would gladly volounteer to help in raising not only funds but awareness. If you can help in any way then please do, as I will do whatever I can for people like Gerald. Forever remembered, love from your big brother xx
