There are over 500,000 people living in the UK who have had meningitis and thousands more who have to face a future without a loved one. The impact of meningitis is so great that one in four adults knows of someone who has been affected.

We are fighting meningitis on all fronts – please help us. To find out more call our Freephone nurse-led helpline on 0808 80 10 388 or visit www.meningitis-trust.org
