Get Involved

The Meath values your gifts of time and enthusiasm just as much as financial gifts. By volunteering to organise and run events, you would be raising much-needed funds for our activities and also helping us to raise our profile.

Sponsored success

From parachuting to walking and swimming, getting sponsored is a great way to lend your support to the Meath’s work. We have teamed up with event organisers, Skyline, to offer parachute jumps – raise the minimum sponsorship sum and you can jump for free! You can also create your own online sponsorship page.

Your school or college

If you have links to a school you think might be interested in supporting the Meath, we would be delighted to hear from you. Schools can help the Meath raise money in lots of ways, such as holding a sports event, or organising a competition, bazaar or disco.

Epilepsy is a condition that can be mysterious to those who have never experienced it themselves, or whose families have not been touched by it. We would be pleased to come and talk to your school about what the Meath is all about and how we help our residents manage their epilepsy and other disabilities to live a full life.

Your workplace

You and your employer could raise funds for the Meath in a variety of ways at work:

• Adopt the Meath as your charity of the year
• Donate to the Meath through payroll giving
• Volunteer at the Meath

Trusts and foundations

The Meath will be seeking support from a number of charitable trusts and foundations over the next few years to raise funds for various projects that will improve life for our residents. If you know of a charitable trust you think the Meath could approach for support, please let us know.
