Any donations are appreciated to fund the work the GBSS do to raise awareness to all those who are pregnant or know someone who is pregnant.
Group B Strep is the leading cause of severe infection in newborn babies including sepsis, meningitis and pneumonia.
On average in the UK, at least two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection. One baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and another survives with long-term disabilities, physical, mental or both.
Group B Strep Support is on a mission to STOP life-threatening group B Strep infection in babies.
We provide support for families, improves awareness, educates health professionals and campaigns for better prevention.
