Hipp Organic are proud to support the Meningitis Trust.
Meningitis can strike in an instant but its impact can
last a lifetime. As many as 500,000 people living in the UK today
have had either viral or bacterial meningitis at some time in
their lives. In addition up to 10 million adults in the UK – one
adult in every four – knows of someone who has had the
disease and may have been impacted.
Most people survive meningitis but thousands are left
with debilitating after effects including deafness, blindness,
limb loss, learning difficulties, memory issues and behavioural
problems. The impact may also cause relationship difficulties
and an enforced change of lifestyle.
At the same time experience of this dreadful disease can
have an impact on families, friends, work colleagues and the
community in which they live.
The Meningitis Trust supports every individual touched
by meningitis and the Trust’s services and support are
a lifeline to help them rebuild their lives. It also raises awareness
of the signs and symptoms of meningitis and associated septicaemia.
