It's our 40th year!

8th January 2026

This year marks the 40th anniversary of our charity’s work in fighting the devastation caused by meningitis – that’s four decades of pioneering research, vaccine and awareness campaigns, and providing emotional, practical, and financial support to those impacted by this brutal disease.

To mark this milestone, we are planning a touring photographic exhibition, ‘Stories of Hope’, featuring portraits and short messages from 40 of the many, many thousands of people we have supported and who have supported our work over the years. We’re grateful to all those who have taken part in this project – keep an eye out for how you can visit the exhibition in the next few months.

In the meantime, if you have any photos to add to our archive collection from the past 40 years, please do send them via email to pressoffice@meningitisnow.org. They might be selected to share on our socials!

As part of our 40th anniversary, we’re also inviting you to consider setting up a monthly gift of £4, £14 or £40 or a one-off gift to support our ongoing work and to help us continue to save lives and rebuild futures for as long as we’re needed.

We can't wait to share more about our plans for our big 40th, but for now, we're wishing you all a happy New Year.
