THE Countess of Wessex was the guest of honour at the head office of the Meningitis Trust yesterday as the organisation marked its 25th anniversary.
Chief Executive Sue Davie said that the aim of the trust was for no one to have to suffer in silence.
The Trust also unveiled new plans to partner with other organisations in an effort to raise its profile and help more people whose lives have been torn by the disease.
