To mark the start of the ‘Protecting our Tomorrows’ campaign, 3,400 teddy bears were positioned outside City Hall in London to represent the number of children that contract bacterial meningitis and septicaemia in the UK every year.
Behind the campaign is renowned photographer Anne Geddes, who has partnered with the International Confederation of Meningitis Organisations (CoMO) and other meningitis charities from around the world, to meet and photograph children and families who have been affected by the disease over the next six months.
