Throughout the month of October 2024, babies and toddlers who are members of Turtle Tots swim school, will be taking part in a week of sponsored water-based activities to raise money for Meningitis Now.

This will be the fourth year that Turtle Tots has supported Meningitis Now, through this much-loved annual Splash Now event.

The creation of Splash Now was inspired following the death of baby, Clara, who sadly lost her battle with meningitis at just 10 months old.

Meningitis is a devastating disease that can destroy lives and futures overnight. Families can suddenly be facing life without a loved one. Survivors can be left with lifelong disabilities and complex health issues.

Meningitis Now was founded in Gloucestershire in 1986 by a group of parents affected by meningitis. Since then, Meningitis Now has fought this disease relentlessly in the UK by funding research, raising awareness and providing support for people whose lives have been changed by meningitis.

Thank you for getting involved in this year's campaign. The money you raise will help Meningitis Now to ensure that nobody in the UK dies from meningitis and everybody affected gets the aftercare they deserve.
