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'.
