Epilepsy Action - Befriending

Epilepsy Action

Epilepsy Action is the UK’s leading epilepsy organisation and exists to improve the lives of everyone affected by the condition. Our befriending service is provided online or through telephone.

  • The service links people who are affected by epilepsy to a volunteer befriender
  • The service is a listening ear for people with epilepsy that are going through a difficult time
  • It is for people aged 18 or over and that live in the UK
  • Parents and/or carers of a child with epilepsy can use the service
  • People can self-refer by completing an online application

We match service users with a suitable volunteer befriender who will support people to:

  • Increase social life activities and reduce isolation
  • Encourage social connections
  • Help improve well-being
  • Develop supportive ways of coping and managing daily activities
  • Improve self-esteem, confidence and personal independence
  • Encourage physical activity, individual or social
  • Nurture trusting relationships outside of your home
