| If you are interested in volunteering for the Trust, why not contact us and we will be only too pleased to speak to you to find out what best meets your needs.
Many of us lead hectic lives nowadays, but just a few hours a month can make an amazing difference – just ask some of the people that the Trust has supported over the years.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and backgrounds:
Angela Cloke contacted the Meningitis Trust after her son Samuel contracted Meningococcal B and Septicaemia aged 18 months in 2000. Thankfully, after spending time in hospital Samuel made a good recovery and is now a happy 8 years old.
Angela initially contacted the Trust for support, as she was unsure of the after-effects that Samuel may suffer as a consequence, and she has been an active volunteer and supporter of the Meningitis Trust since.
Over the past 7 years Angela has raised a fantastic £75,000.00. She has arranged events for thrill seekers and non-thrill seekers alike: events such as the fire and ice walk, which involved individuals walking on hot coals or broken glass, to the annual coffee morning held in March that attracts people from all over the West Midlands.
As well as fundraising, Angela is very much involved in other aspects of the work the Meningitis Trust carries out with local communities. Angela raises awareness of meningitis and the Meningitis Trust, by giving disease awareness talks to individuals, companies and groups of people all over the Midlands, attending cheque presentations and giving out our literature.
