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.

Our Vision is for all communities to be aware of the threat and impact of meningitis and for anyone affected to have access to quality care and support for as long as they need it.

Our Mission is to reduce the devastating impact of meningitis by:

Raising awareness

• Raising awareness of the disease with health professionals and the general public – prompt action can save a life or reduce the likelihood of after-effects. 
  

• Providing the professional services and support to everyone affected for as long as they need it – helping people to rebuild their lives.
  
  
• Empowering other people and organisations by working together - improving aftercare for people affected by meningitis in Ireland.
  
  
• Continuing to be the leading authority on the after-effects and aftercare of meningitis - fighting for those who need support for life.

 

Our long term strategy is very clear - to be there for people who have been affected by meningitis even after the introduction of vaccines. We know from all the people we work with just how important this is and the difference we make to people’s lives.
