http://www.meningitis-trust.org.uk/ Meningitis Trust

The Meningitis Trust was founded in 1986 by people who had a direct experience of meningitis following an outbreak in the Gloucestershire area of the UK. They were conscious of the lack of information about the disease and the lack of available support.

Now an internationally recognised charity the Trust leads the fight against meningitis by:
  • producing an extensive range of information to raise awareness of the disease
  • funding research into vaccines and treatment
  • offering a wide range of support for people affected by meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia
Whilst the headquarters of the Trust are still based in Stroud, offices have been established in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This is to ensure services properly meet the needs of individuals in their local communities. A team of Regional Development Officers work to support people throughout the UK.

Meningitis continues to threaten individuals and communities across the world, and the Trust's wide range of services and expertise are increasingly in demand. Offices have been set up in the Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
