About us

Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborns and meningitis in babies under the age of 3 months.

On average in the UK, at least:

Two babies a day develop a GBS infection.

One baby a week dies from their GBS infection. 

One baby a week survives with long-term disabilities (physical, mental or both)

Yet most Group B Strep infections are preventable.

Group B Strep Support informs families & health professionals about Group B Strep to save tiny lives.
