Group B Strep SupportWorking to stop GBS infection in babies
Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies, and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months.
Most of these infections are preventable.
Help us to STOP more young lives being devastated by group B Strep infection. Your generosity can fund vital awareness-raising and emotional support.

The doctors praised us for our quick reaction to Hugo's unusual symptoms and said that we had, in essence, saved him from contracting meningitis and undoubtedly his life.
