How do I become an accredited volunteer?

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.
