How you can help
Your Support is a Lifeline
Meningitis can strike with terrifying speed, changing lives forever in a matter of hours. For the individuals and families left to navigate the aftermath, the journey can be lonely and overwhelming. Act for Meningitis was founded to ensure that no one has to face this journey alone.
We provide crucial, free-of-charge support services—from counselling and play therapy to practical help—for as long as a family needs us. We receive no state funding, so every therapy session we provide and every family we support is only made possible through the kindness and generosity of people like you. Your contribution, no matter the size, provides a beacon of hope and helps rebuild lives shattered by this devastating disease
Ways You Can Make a Difference
There are so many ways you can join our community and become a vital part of our mission. The most direct way to help is by making a one-off or recurring donation, which provides the stable funding we need to continue our essential services. If you’d like to get more involved, you could organise a fundraising event in your community or workplace, such as a coffee morning, a sponsored walk, or a quiz night.
You can also choose to take on a personal challenge by participating in an event like a marathon or cycle on our behalf. Even sharing our awareness campaigns on your social media can have a powerful impact. However you choose to help, you will be making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by meningitis across Ireland
