Volunteering with Young Epilepsy – help us change the lives of young people with epilepsy
Thank you for visiting our volunteering pages! We hope this means you’re already keen to donate some of your precious time to help us raise funds and awareness for Young Epilepsy, but just in case you need more convincing, here goes!
Why volunteer with Young Epilepsy
Whatever your background and however much time you can spare, you’ll find that volunteering for Young Epilepsy is rewarding and fun. It’s also a great way to develop your skills and meet new and interesting people.
If you speak to people who already volunteer for a charity, they will probably tell you that they do it because they love it. We think you’ll love volunteering with us – why not give it a try?
What can I do in a few minutes or hours?
Become an Action Team Member.
We know that finding the time to volunteer can be challenging with the pressures of modern life, so Action Teams are a new and exciting way to volunteer around your lifestyle.
As a member of your local Action Team, you will be offered a wide variety of volunteering opportunities - the difference is that you're in control.
You decide which events and activities you want to support, how often you volunteer and you choose whether the time and date suits you.
The additional bonus is that Actions Teams work wherever you live, so no matter where you’re based in the UK, we need Action Teams!
Are you a Christmas Super Star? We are urgently looking for volunteers to help us at a variety of fun and festive Christmas events in the Redhill, Crawley and East Grinstead areas throughout the whole of December. If you can spare any number of hours to help us sparkle this Christmas, get in touch today!

What can I do if I have more time?
The scope is enormous! We are looking for volunteers to help us in a range of different roles.
Events Organiser:If you are an organised, driven person with time to spare and you enjoy the excitement of planning events, this could be the perfect role for you! We are looking for excellent volunteers to help organise fundraising events in their community. This could be you and a group of friends or just one organised individual.
Collection Box Coordinator: If you would like a volunteer role where you can directly see the impact you’re making, this might be for you! We are looking for volunteers across the UK who can place and manage collection boxes in their local community. You will be responsible for emptying, counting and keeping accurate records of the boxes you manage. Find out more by clicking here
Become a Friend of Young Epilepsy: We are looking for groups of committed, enthusiastic and sociable people to become ‘Friends of Young Epilepsy, in your local community. This could be as simple as organising the occasional tea party or perhaps a fundraising event such as a "race night". The value to us is not only the financial support but the positive publicity about the work of Young Epilepsy in communities across the country. Our ‘Friends’ get top class support from the Fundraising teams at all times to help them in their fundraising. If you like the sound of it, we’d love to tell you more! Find out more by clicking here
Administrative Volunteer: Do you live in the Lingfield area? Do you enjoy administrative tasks and can spare at least 4 hours a week? If so, we need you! We need help with a range of projects in our busy fundraising office. Get in touch to find out more!
Volunteer Speaker: If you enjoy public speaking, this is the role for you! We are currently recruiting for volunteers who can deliver speeches and presentations about the work of Young Epilepsy to a variety of audiences, from school assemblies to local community groups.
Events Promoter: This role will help us to spread the word about events, both on-line and off-line, so that as many people as possible have the opportunity to take part and they raise as much money as they possibly can!
To find out more about any of these roles, get in touch with the fundraising team today – we’d love to hear from you! Our email address is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or you can call us on 01342 831245.
Without the help of our volunteers, we simply would not be able to continue our vital work. Whoever you are and wherever you live, you can help change the lives of young people with epilepsy.
