A TOTTINGTON volunteer will be rewarded for her hard work today at a special conference in Lancaster.
Fiona Ingham will be presented with an award for Outstanding Achievement and Raising Awareness of Epilepsy by the British Epilepsy Association.
She has dedicated five years of her own time to helping others as epilepsy liaison worker and was a driving force behind the Fairfield Children's Epilepsy Clinic.
Fiona, who was one of 15 people in the North-west to be highly commended in the national Whitbread Volunteer Awards, visits all newly diagnosed youngsters at home to provide education and support and helps to break down the stigma and ignorance often attached to epilepsy.
