No one should face meningitis alone – we are here for you and your family.
We know how frightening and isolating meningitis and sepsis can be. It’s a difficult time not just for the person who has experienced meningitis; but the whole community of family and friends who will also be affected.
One of the earliest reasons for Meningitis Research Foundation forming was to offer emotional support to those affected by meningitis in their darkest moments.
Our Support Service team is available to support you through. Available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, we can speak to you on:
- Phone: 080 8800 3344 (UK) / 1800 41 33 44 (Republic of Ireland).
- Email: helpline@meningitis.org.
- Live chat (bottom right corner of your screen).
Remember, if you are concerned that you or someone else is showing signs of meningitis or sepsis call 999 in the UK or 112 in Ireland immediately. We do not provide diagnostic medical advice.
