**The Meningitis Trust has created a Flowers of Thanks virtual garden, an online
fundraising tool that families and friends can use to keep alive memories of loved
ones.**

The site was designed and built by The Good Agency. Open to all members of the public,
the site lets people plant and dedicate a flower to a loved one.

Visitors can see flowers that have already been planted and read their dedications.
By donating £10 or more they can plant their own flower and raise money to help 
the charity continue to support people affected by meningitis, campaign on their
behalf and run awareness programmes that save lives.

The site has also been designed to increase the public’s awareness of the charity
and disease. Supporters can share stories and information to social networks.

Charlotte Beckett, Head of Digital at The Good Agency said: “We wanted to created
something inclusive, lasting and inherently shareable, as well of course a site 
that worked hard to raise funds. Taking the idea of a picturesque garden into the
virtual world addresses those needs in a really creative way that allows people 
to plant a permanent dedication and tell and share their stories”.
