Meningitis Research Foundation is a leading international charity, working to defeat meningitis and septicaemia since 1989.

Together our vision is of a world free from meningitis and septicaemia. A world where effective vaccinations can protect everyone from meningitis and septicaemia. A world where people who do get ill, often very seriously, get the most effective diagnosis and treatment possible. A world where those affected by meningitis and septicaemia, their families and communities have the best support possible. 

Whether you are living with the after effects of the diseases or coping with the death of a loved one, we are here for you. We are trained to work with families and individuals who need our support.
