What we can do for you

Sharing experiences

Would it help to talk to someone with a similar experience of meningitis? The Meningitis Trust's 'One to One' service can put you in touch with someone who knows what it's like when meningitis affects your life. You can talk to a ‘One to One’ contact via email or telephone whichever way is easiest for you.

If you would like to be put in touch with a 'One to One' contact please contact our 24-hour freephone helpline on 0800 028 18 28.

Cieran had bacterial meningitis at nine months old, leaving him deaf. Cieran’s mum, Sue, wanted to talk to another mum. She says, 'At first I was a little shy of phoning someone I didn't know, but after a few times I felt really at ease. It's great to talk to someone who has been through similar experiences and is further ahead in the process we are beginning to go through. Without the help of the One to One service that the Meningitis Trust provided I don't think that my family would be at the stage we are now'.
