Fundraising in memory of someone
Fundraising in memory is very special and we thank you for thinking of supporting Group B Strep Support in memory of your loved one. Raising funds now, or thinking about a gift in your will, ensures that the GBSS will be able to provide support for families, improve awareness of group B Strep and campaign for better prevention in the UK.
Sometimes being able to channel energy into helping others helps people to deal with a part of their grief. It can be comforting to know that the money raised in your loved one’s memory will help Group B Strep Support with our vital work to stop group B Strep infection in newborn babies, and to support those affected by group B Strep. Over time, you may want to find some special way of remembering your baby or a special loved one.
Set up a Tribute Fund
Set up an online personalised Tribute Fund for your loved one by sharing photos, videos, music and stories.
Organise an event in memory
Celebrate a loved one’s life with a virtual or physical event – we have plenty of ideas to inspire and will support you all the way with your fundraising.
Take on a challenge in memory
Run, cycle, or trek to honour your loved one. We have places in many popular events, or take on your own virtual challenge.
Rhodi dying was by far the hardest thing my family have had to deal with but knowing his name is saving lives makes us so incredibly proud of him. We are hoping that we can host our fun day once a year to continue raising awareness and funds for Group B Strep Support.

Taking part in a challenge event or organising your own fundraising event is a wonderful tribute and a really special way to remember someone special to you. Any fundraising activity can be dedicated to the memory of of a loved one.
