Meningitis can affect anyone at any time. It can kill within hours and for those who survive, the physical and emotional aftermath is often life-changing. Through this project we aim to empower families with the resources they need to rebuild positive futures following meningitis.

Situation
In the UK around 8,000 people a year contract bacterial or viral meningitis – that’s 22 people every day. We're making a difference, every day, by working hard to achieve our vision of a future where nobody in the UK dies of meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives. We understand how hard life after meningitis can be and with over 35 years of experience, we offer an unrivalled range of information and support to anyone in the UK, free of charge,
Solution
Life after meningitis can be tough. That's why the Rebuilding Futures Fund provides financial, practical and emotional support for people of all ages affected by meningitis. This may include, for example, support for specialist equipment, home adaptions, technology to support learning, therapies such as acupuncture, counselling, travel costs associated with medical appointments and funeral costs.
