Helping thousands of people
There are over 500,000 people living in the UK who have had meningitis and thousands more have had to face a future without a loved one. The impact of meningitis is so great that 1 in 4 adults know of someone who has been affected.
Our Vision - Support for Life:
To reach and improve the lives of everyone affected by meningitis and minimise the impact of the disease.
Our Mission
- Support for life - we help improve lives whenever and wherever it is needed. No-one will be left to suffer alone and everyone will get the support they deserve.
- Partnership – we work with individuals and organisations who help us improve the lives of everyone affected by meningitis. We will be stronger together.
- Information – we provide expert information on all aspects of meningitis and its impact. Knowledge saves lives and enhances support.
- Campaigning – we support prevention, raise awareness and fight for better support. Our voice will be used to effect change.
- Fundraising – we inspire people to support us. Our work is dependent on voluntary donations.
We are an ambitious organisation committed to the people we are here to support. To see what our priorities are over the next five years, click here.
Help us to achieve our Vision
There are lots of ways you can help us – whether it’s through letting people who have been affected by meningitis know that we exist and can help them, or raising funds to help us continue supporting people like them, or volunteering your time to raise awareness of the disease in the community.
We know that a future will never be the same after meningitis, irrespective of outcome, but with your help, together we can build better futures for people right now.

It costs £8,000 a day to provide our services. To help us continue please support us. Support the Meningitis Trust
