Stories of Hope: Meningitis Now at 40

Wednesday 8th April to Sunday 12th April, The Setting gallery and Plot café

Wednesday to Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday 10am - 3pm

Join us at our 40th anniversary photography exhibition, as we tell 40 stories of hope – and look ahead to a future where nobody in the UK dies of meningitis, and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Every member of the Meningitis Now family has a story to tell. Over the past 40 years, we have heard countless stories of lives lost and lives changed forever by meningitis. Stories of grief and of sadness. But also stories of determination, of resilience, of beating the odds. Above all, they are stories of hope.

Join us in our 40th year as we tell 40 stories of hope – through a unique photography exhibition featuring portraits of 40 people from Meningitis Now's past and present.

Each story represents a unique perspective – from survivors who have overcome the challenges of meningitis, to families and supporters who have shown incredible strength in the face of loss. We also celebrate the impact made by scientists, doctors, volunteers and others connected to the charity. Working with photographer Carmel King, the exhibition aims to build awareness, inspire action and celebrate the remarkable stories that embody Meningitis Now’s legacy of hope and resilience.
