Remember loved ones with our Ribbon Appeal
Every year, we remember those who have lost their lives to meningitis by adorning our Tree of Remembrance at Gloucester Cathedral with ribbon dedications from our supporters.
Will you join us in dedicating a ribbon to a loved one? By also making a vital donation in their memory, you can help ensure Meningitis Now can continue to be there for everyone facing life after meningitis.

Mia's story
A joyful, talented young woman with her whole future ahead of her, Mia tragically died in 2023, aged just 19, after contracting meningitis. Her family remembers her as a born performer, always singing, dancing, and bringing happiness to those around her. Mia’s parents, Clare and Alex, have kindly shared their story in support of our annual Ribbon Appeal, which offers everyone the chance to remember their loved ones at this time of year and donate to fight back against this devastating disease.
How to make your tribute using the form below:
- Dedicate a ribbon for our Tree of Remembrance in memory of a loved one, or in support of those affected by meningitis. Please dedicate your ribbon by 24 November.
- Order a ribbon to wear, display on your tree or in another special place at home.
- Make a donation to help us support families like Mia’s and work towards a future where no one has to face the impact of meningitis alone.
