Meningitis Now

Meningitis Now

At Meningitis Now, our vision is a future where no-one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

 Fighting meningitis has been our driving force for over 35 years; but our work is far from over. 22 people every day are still affected by this terrible and devastating disease. They will continue to need our aftercare and support, both now and in the future; and until meningitis is eliminated from the UK, it's vital that we continue to raise awareness and fight back against the disease.
