THE Meningitis Trust would like to thank everyone who whipped up a froth, stirred up a crowd and made a difference in an instant by holding a coffee break event in the South West. Thanks to you and more than 1,100 groups of coffee breakers across the country, we've raised more than £80,000 to help the fight against meningitis.

We're now looking forward to our 10th coffee break event in March 2004 when we hope we can count on you once more.
