National Doodle Day for Epilepsy Action!

That’s right, National Doodle Day is back!

Every year celebrities, artists, and illustrators sharpen their pencils, prepare their paints, and draw some brilliant doodles and sketches to raise money for Epilepsy Action, a charity that works hard to raise awareness of epilepsy and provide support and advice for people with epilepsy and their families. 

Epilepsy Action was founded in 1950, and over the past 69 years the charity has worked hard to give a better life to those with epilepsy. Over the years they have been responsible for making many changes to improve the lives of those living with epilepsy, not just in terms of social attitudes but also in the law, public awareness, scientific knowledge, and medical practice.

National Doodle Day was established in 2004 as a way to raise money for Epilepsy Action and has had many celebrities such as Tom Hardy & Darcey Bussell taking part, as well as notable authors, illustrators, and artists! All of the artwork is auctioned off on eBay for three days each year, giving people the opportunity to purchase an illustration from their favourite artist or celebrity while giving to a great cause!

We’re proud to say that our punnet of Plums have taken part in National Doodle Day for a number of years now, creating beautiful, fun, and unique pieces of artwork to be auctioned off for Epilepsy Action. You can see this years’ brilliant contributions below!  

This year’s auction will run from Friday 20^thSeptember to Sunday 22^nd. You can find out more about Epilepsy Action and check out the National Doodle Day auction
