SIR – On behalf of the Meningitis Trust, I would like to say a huge thank-you to everyone who took part in The Big Dunkathon Coffee Break throughout March.

This was the first time we held the Big Dunkathon and we had hundreds of people across the UK unashamedly dunk their favourite biscuit to help us continue supporting individuals and their families after meningitis.

Together the dunkers have raised nearly £40,000 and as a charity that receives no Government funding this will go a long way.

For more information on the Big Dunkathon please visit dunkathon.org.
