What is their field of operation?

Meningitis Research Foundation is a national registered charity. The charity is a non-profit making organisation working in the voluntary or 'third' sector (the private and public sectors being the first and second).

The charity's objectives are to:

1. Promote research into the causes and treatment of all forms of meningitis and associated infections
2. Promote the dissemination of the knowledge gained by such research
3. Advance the education of the public in the causes, treatment and prevention of meningitis and associated infections
4. Help relieve distress to individuals and families caused by death and damage through meningitis and associated infections

Funds are raised from the general public to carry out this programme of work. The Foundation, in common with many other charities, owns a subsidiary trading company. This company gift aids all its profits to the charity.
