Meningitis Now
Client Case Study
Meningitis Now
www.meningitisnow.orgFrom local support groups to a national charity, Meningitis Now is proud of everything they have achieved in their 30 years history. Meningitis Now was the first meningitis patient group in the world, founders of the meningitis movement and is the only charity dedicated to fighting meningitis in the UK. They have invested over £12.5m in kick-starting the development and introduction of five lifesaving meningitis vaccines and have fought tirelessly to save lives through meningitis awareness campaigns and activity. The charity also offers vital support and help to those who have experienced meningitis, helping them to rebuild their lives.
Our Brief
Recognising the inequalities that exists in the UK health system and that life-saving vaccine uptake and access to information was poorest in communities where language, cultural and health barriers exist, Meningitis Now wanted to ensure that it provided the widest possible access to the valuable information and support services it provides. Making its website barrier-free, accessible and inclusive is a vital part of this goal.
