OUTREACH ACROSS THREE INITIATIVES FOR ENCEPHALITIS SOCIETY

» LEADING HARDWARE AND locking systems specialist , UAP Ltd , has helped provide support to those living with the effects of encephalitis and to further research into diagnosis and treatment with a triple charity donation initiative .
The company ’ s CEO , David Jennings , was appointed vice president of the Encephalitis Society in January . He is also keen to help those living with the condition , having lost his own brother , Phillip , to encephalitis at the age of just 17 in 1975 .
