Join us and lighten up your office, with the Meningitis Trust ‘Get Mellow Go Yellow’ fundraiser.

You can choose a day that suits your workplace and encourage staff to wear yellow for the day, put yellow decorations on their desk or for the brave, dye their hair yellow - we don’t mind what you do, as long as it has a yellow theme!

Businesses across the UK are invited to join in the fundraiser to say goodbye to the winter blues, and brighten up their working day. The idea is to banish dullness and wear a yellow item of clothing for a suggested donation of just £2. All money raised will help the Meningitis Trust support anyone struggling to cope with the impact of meningitis in the UK. If you haven’t got anything yellow in your wardrobe, you can use the ‘yellow’ theme in other ways – such as cake bakes, quizzes, sports competitions, etc.

The Meningitis Trust is the UK’s longest established meningitis charity, which relies on voluntary contributions to continue its work. Funds raised through the event will provide services and support for everyone affected by meningitis, as well as raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disease.

More than 20,000 people are helped by the Meningitis Trust each year through a range of professional services. These include, a 24-hour helpline (0800 028 1828), counselling, home visits, one-to-one contact and community support. The Trust also gives away more than £140,000 every year in financial support grants and distributes millions of leaflets, posters, symptoms cards, information sheets and other materials which raise awareness of meningitis.

Meningitis does not discriminate, it can affect anyone, of any age, at anytime; this could be one of your employees or someone in their family.
