Our vision is of a world free from meningitis and septicaemia. A world where effective vaccinations can protect everyone. A world where people who do get the diseases get the most effective diagnosis and treatments possible. A world where people affected and their families have the best support and information. We have three goals: 1. to see fewer people get meningitis and septicaemia; 2. to see more people survive with a better quality of life and reduced disability; 3. to have more engaged, informed and supported patients and communities. MRF plays a key role in making this happen in the UK, Ireland and around the world by funding vital research, advocating for change as a dedicated champion for those it affects, and taking action that benefits people, including running awareness campaigns, training health professionals and providing support and information.
