Most of our volunteers come to us because they have been affected by meningitis – whether they have had meningitis themselves or someone close to them has. But that’s not essential and we welcome all volunteers regardless of their direct experience of meningitis.
People volunteer to give something back. To feel a sense of purpose. To develop skills. And to meet new people or try a new activity.
Our volunteers raise vital awareness of meningitis, including:
- the signs and symptoms of meningitis and what to do if you suspect meningitis.
- that different age groups can be affected – it’s not just a disease for babies
- the importance of vaccinations
- how to access our free support
It takes seconds to hand out a symptoms card. But it can save someone’s life.
Any time you can give us, whether that’s once or twice a year, or every week, it all makes a difference!
