Community Fundraising

Ideas of how to get involved with fundraising

Nurseries

Babies and young children are most at risk from meningitis and septicaemia - almost half of all cases are in the under fives. Your nursery can help raise money for MRF by joining our mascot Marvin for some monstrous fun.

Schools and Students

Schools and colleges are ideal for organizing fundraising events - with so many people everyone only needs to do something small to make a really successful event.

Student Programme

The fact is that students and young people are at an increased risk of getting meningitis and septicaemia - diseases that can kill and maim in hours.

We need you help to protect students, their families and friends against these devestating diseases.

Corporate partners

Whether you become involved with the charity due to the personal experience of a colleague or client, or you want to support a ground-breaking national charity, the result is the same - the reduction of death and disability from these devastating diseases.

Your fundraising stories
