Group B Strep Support Group
About Group B Strep Support Group
The Group B Strep Support Group is a dedicated charity based in the UK, focused on raising awareness and providing support for families affected by Group B Streptococcus (GBS). Our mission is to ensure that every parent has access to accurate information about GBS, its risks, and prevention strategies. We strive to empower families through education, advocacy, and support services.
Founded by parents who have experienced the impact of GBS, we understand the emotional and practical challenges faced by those affected. Our team comprises healthcare professionals, researchers, and volunteers who are passionate about improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
We offer a range of resources, including:
- Information Packs: Comprehensive guides on GBS, its implications, and management during pregnancy.
- Support Services: A helpline and online forums where families can share experiences and seek advice.
- Awareness Campaigns: Initiatives aimed at educating healthcare providers and the public about GBS.
Our vision is a world where no family suffers from the consequences of GBS due to lack of knowledge or support. We actively collaborate with healthcare professionals to promote best practices in screening and treatment.
Through fundraising events and community engagement, we aim to expand our reach and enhance our services. Join us in our mission to make a difference in the lives of families affected by Group B Strep.
