This week is National Volunteering Week - a week in which we celebrate the incredible work which is done by volunteers across Ireland.

At Epilepsy Ireland, we depend on the support of our wonderful volunteers across the length and breadth of the country – to help us raise the vital funds required to continue our work towards a society where no person’s life is limited by epilepsy; and to help raise awareness of a condition which affects 40,000 people across Ireland today.

Epilepsy Nurse Specialists play a vital role in supporting people with epilepsy across Ireland and on this special day, we would like to thank them for their incredible work.

Today is workplace wellbeing day - can we help support your workplace?

Acceptance and understanding within the workplace are something that everyone in employment seeks. This type of inclusive environment is also something many businesses and employers strive to implement in workplaces across Ireland.

However, for people with epilepsy, unfortunately there can still be misconceptions around a person’s ability to work when the reality is that for the vast majority of people with epilepsy, they are able to work at whatever they chose to do.

Thank you Paul!
