How can I get involved?

There are many ways you can volunteer for us. We have three Team Encephalitis volunteer roles – Information, Awareness and Support.

We are currently looking for support volunteers.

Team Encephalitis Support Volunteers are members who have personal experience of encephalitis, either directly or as a family member/carer or friend.

They have completed training which includes a police check and safeguarding training.

A number of our volunteers run monthly online gatherings which cover the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

These are a fantastic way to meet and connect with other members of Encephalitis International in your area who have been directly or indirectly affected by encephalitis. Find out more

 

You could also:

• Register your interest in research
• Share your story
• Fundraise for us
• Signing up to our mailing list
• Join our information volunteer panel (see information volunteer role)

Volunteer Adverts

Encephalitis International strives to create an inclusive environment, representative of, and responsive to, different cultures and groups, where everyone has an equal chance to succeed, and the diversity of the communities we serve are reflected at all levels within our volunteer workforce.

We want everyone to feel welcome, accepted and represented, no matter their background, geographical location, type of encephalitis, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion etc.

We deem it important to not only have a diverse volunteer team, but to also provide diverse volunteer roles to suit a range of people and their needs, motivations and skills.

We are keen to reach underrepresented groups and communities who are unaware of our services.

We have put together some adverts in different languages which can be found below. If your language is not listed but you are still interested in getting involved, we would still love to hear from you!
