To provide life long access to our support services for everyone affected by meningitis, enabling them to rebuild their lives and raise awareness of the threat of meningitis.

The Meningitis Trust improves the lives of people affected by meningitis. We are the only provider of professional meningitis support and aftercare services in the UK, helping thousands of people every year. We are a source of knowledge, expertise, security and consideration for those whose lives will never be the same again; helping them to take control of their future. Meningitis can strike in an instant but its impact can last a lifetime. As many as 500,000 people living in the UK today have had either viral or bacterial meningitis at some time in their lives. Most people survive meningitis but thousands are left with debilitating after effects including deafness, blindness, limb loss, learning difficulties, memory issues and behavioural problems. The impact may also cause relationship difficulties and an enforced change of lifestyle. At the same time experience of this dreadful disease can have an impact on families, friends, work colleagues and the community in which they live. The Meningitis Trust is here to support every individual touched by meningitis and the Trust’s services and support are a lifeline to help them rebuild their lives. It also raises awareness of the signs and symptoms of meningitis and associated septicaemia.
