National Doodle Day - main logoNational Doodle Day 2024 is Coming!

Last year saw us celebrate our biggest EVER National Doodle Day, with the support of more than

600 artists, illustrators & celebrities that got doodling to raise funds for Epilepsy Action.

 

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Epilepsy Action’s most colourful fundraising campaign, we are thrilled to announce that the fundraising auction will be extended to run for TEN DAYS this September, as opposed to our usual three – which will give you more time to look through and bid on the hundreds of original artworks up-for-grabs.

 

Bidding will run on eBay between Friday 20th – Sunday 29th September!

 

Keep up-to-date!
