About Us
Epilepsy Action is a community of people committed to a better life for everyone affected by epilepsy. We want high quality, accessible healthcare services, so that people with epilepsy have the support they need to manage their condition. We want wider awareness and understanding of epilepsy, so that people living with the condition are treated with fairness and respect.
Our supporters, members, staff and volunteers are united by these common goals. Together we provide support and expert advice and fight for a better deal for people with epilepsy.

1:1 Peer Support
Are you a good listener, able to show empathy and understanding as well as being able to spot the positive things in life? This could be the perfect role for you! We are looking for volunteers who have a couple of hours a week to give on a regular basis to make friendly calls to people living with epilepsy who are feeling lonely or isolated.
