About National Doodle Day
National Doodle Day is about having fun while raising funds to help people whose lives are affected by epilepsy and neurofibromatosis. Since the very first National Doodle Day in 2004 over £120,000 has been raised to help support the work of two charities, Epilepsy Action and the Neurofibromatosis Association.
This money has been raised by schools, by companies and individuals who have put pen to paper and simply doodled!
Our fundraising success has also been due to the fantastic support of many celebrities from the worlds of TV, film, theatre, politics, sport and the arts. Over 750 celebrities have doodled in support of National Doodle Day so far and we owe an enormous degree of thanks to them and to everyone who has taken part in this event.

As well as raising funds National Doodle Day has also helped to raise awareness of both neurofibromatosis and epilepsy with news stories about National Doodle Day and these two medical conditions appearing on TV, radio and national, regional and local press.
We hope through National Doodle Day to continue to raise funds in order to provide advice, information and support services to people with epilepsy or with neurofibromatosis and to raise awareness of these conditions so that people affected no longer face the discrimination and stigma that can affect their every day lives.
