Summary of volunteering policy at Epilepsy Action

Epilepsy Action volunteers are an important part of our work. Volunteers are a valuable resource and help a lot in achieving the charity’s aims and objectives. Without them we would not be able to complete the variety and amount of work that we do. They add hugely to Epilepsy Actions success.

Volunteering for Epilepsy Action should be attractive to would be volunteers and a positive and worthwhile experience for those who take part.

We will ensure:

• fair and consistent approach to volunteering across the organisation
• best possible management and support of our volunteers 
• a clear and effective relationship between Epilepsy Action and our volunteers.

Our volunteer roles are designed to:

• enable us to meet our aims and objectives in supporting people with epilepsy. 
• provide an interesting, absorbing and rewarding experience for individuals.

We will use principles based on Volunteering England’s ‘Investing in Volunteers’ guidance for the best practice management of volunteers.
