National Doodle Day

National Doodle Day, celebrated annually in the UK on the first Friday of September, is a fun and creative event that brings together people of all ages to raise funds and awareness for those affected by epilepsy. Organised by the charity Epilepsy Action, National Doodle Day encourages participants to unleash their artistic side by creating and sharing doodles. These doodles are often auctioned off to raise money, with proceeds supporting vital services, research, and advocacy efforts to improve the lives of individuals living with epilepsy.

What makes National Doodle Day special is its inclusivity—everyone, from children to professional artists, can participate. The day is not just about drawing; it’s about expressing creativity, having fun, and making a positive impact. Over the years, National Doodle Day has seen contributions from celebrities, artists, and members of the public, all united in their support for epilepsy awareness. The event also serves as a conversation starter, helping to reduce the stigma associated with epilepsy by encouraging open discussions about the condition.

Participating in National Doodle Day is simple and rewarding. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or someone who just enjoys doodling for fun, your contribution can make a difference. By creating a doodle, sharing it online, or bidding on one of the auctioned doodles, you help raise awareness and funds for epilepsy. National Doodle Day is a reminder that even the simplest acts of creativity can have a profound impact on the lives of others.
