Meningitis Now

Splash Now - Meningitis Now and Turtle Tots 🐢💦 For a fourth year running, we are teaming up with the amazing national swim school, Turtle Tots, for our Splash Now event this October! Turtle Tots Swimming Franchises was founded by Caroline Sparks and Gaby Lixton when they opened their first swim school in Bristol, UK, teaching babies, toddlers and children up to the age of four, to swim through their supportive, child-led swimming programme. To date, our partnership with the Turtle Tots team has raised a staggering £86,000, including gift aid. We look forward to working with them again this October, to raise vital funds and awareness of meningitis.

A huge thank you to the Cramlington Team at RENOLIT UK Ltd. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible team at Renolit for their recent bake sale, which raised an amazing £625 in memory of a beloved former employee. Linda, who dedicated 50 years to the company, left a lasting legacy and will always be remembered. Sadly, Linda passed away from meningitis in April this year, and this thoughtful initiative truly honours her memory. Thank you for your kindness and commitment to making a difference. 🧡

The train from platform 1 will be on a journey to light the tracks ahead to a future where nobody dies from meningitis, and everyone gets the support they need. Due to depart at 09:59 on Tuesday 1 October 🚆 #LightTheTracks #GWR #MeningitisNow #DefeatMeningitis Great Western Railway (GWR)
