Meningitis Research Foundation estimates that there are around 3,400 cases of bacterial meningitis and septicaemia every year in the UK and Ireland. This means that every day nine people become ill with the diseases. With one in ten people dying, a death will occur almost every day. A further two people will be left with life-altering after effects as severe as brain damage, deafness and multiple amputations. The highest burden of meningitis in the world is in the Meningitis Belt of sub-Saharan Africa, where epidemics can strike up to a quarter of a million people in a single year, with tens of thousands of deaths.

Meningitis and septicaemia are devastating diseases which kill 1,000 people around the world every day many of them children and young adults. Survivors can be left with severe disabilities including multiple amputations.

Help TheMeningitis Research Foundation fund vital research, life-saving awareness and individual support for those affected.
