How your donation helps

We don’t receive any government funding, so without the support of people like you, we couldn’t continue our work to stop GBS infection in babies.

Group B Strep Support is a UK charity working to stop group B Strep infection in babies. We educate new and expectant parents, doctors, and midwives about group B Strep and provide information and support to affected families.

Every penny will help us to achieve our vision of ending preventable group B Strep infection in babies’.

We couldn’t do it without you.

The priorities for our money are:

Campaign – We campaign to improve policies and practices to prevent and treat group B Strep infection, including the introduction of effective and accurate antenatal testing.

Support – We provide support to families, especially parents suffering from the devastating consequences of GBS infection and those seeking information about group B Strep.

Awareness – We save lives through awareness and education, giving new and expectant parents and healthcare professionals free up-to-date, accurate and evidence-based information about group B Strep.

Research – We support research to find new and to enhance existing ways to prevent group B Strep infection in babies.

I recently had a baby and I had heard of group B Strep via your Facebook page, so I requested further information regarding testing for group B Strep carriage. I spoke to my midwife who advised that the NHS do not test and to do a private test if I wanted peace of mind. I decided to do the test privately and I was positive. I had antibiotics through my labour and my little boy was fine. Thank you for making information available.

Your donation is making a difference for families like Rebecca. She is just one of the many families we support whose baby was affected by group B Strep.

If you or someone you love has been affected by group B Strep, do get in touch. If you would like to share your story, we’d love to help that happen. Telling our stories of how group B Strep has affected us is hugely powerful and brings home the reason why awareness is so important.
