Epilepsy Berkshire offers mutual support and strives to help resolve many of the issues relating to living with Epilepsy.

This includes offering social events which can be enjoyed in a safe environment knowing there is support available wherever necessary.

Right now they are seeking a volunteer to join them, for approximately two hours a week, to help organise and support adult members.

You would be helping with anything from helping organise events to promoting the charity through social media and other outlets.

It could also include directly supporting their members on various outings.

Tilehurst Parish Council offers a wide range of services to improve the quality of life for their residents, such as their new youth clubs they are establishing.
