Make a Donation - To Prevent a Disease which can Kill in Under 4 Hours
Meningitis affects thousands of people every year and is a disease which can strike incredibly quickly and devastate in hours. If you haven't been directly affected by it yourself, you will probably have heard of someone who has.
Obviously, the more support we get, the sooner a vaccine can be developed and the less lives will be lost or devastatingly changed.

Set up a Regular Gift
Online
Setting up a regular gift helps you to ‘spread the load' and gives us the assurance of reliable income, which means we can more easily commit to forthcoming research projects. To set up a regular monthly donation to Meningitis UK using Justgiving's secure servers, please choose 'monthly' donation (intead of 'single' donation) from the drop-down list.
By Post
If you would prefer to set up a standing order by post, please download a donation form or phone 0117 373 73 73 to request a copy by post, and then complete and return it to us so we can forward it on to your bank.
Through your Payroll
Giving a regular donation through your wages before tax is calculated is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support us. This is often referred to as payroll giving.
Leave a Lasting Legacy
Leaving a gift in your will to Meningitis UK is a way to make a lasting difference to future generations and can significantly help us to push forward more quickly in our search for a vaccine.
Gift Aid your Support
When you make a donation, if you are a tax payer, please don't forget to sign a Gift Aid mandate. This means we can reclaim the tax through the government's Gift Aid scheme, which will make your donation go even further. For example, on a donation of £10, we can claim back a further £2.80 in tax!
