GBS and CIDP Awareness Month

May is GBS & CIDP Awareness Month

This May help us to celebrate the GBS and CIDP Community, and raise awareness around these life changing conditions.

We will be holding a number of events in May to talk about GBS, CIDP, MMN, and other inflammatory neuropathies. We will be sharing information, talking about the impact of the conditions, and sharing experiences.

To help spread awareness, we have published a number of new easy read factsheets which you can download using the button below.

We have also created a series of awareness posters for you to download and print. You can get them by clicking the button below. If you would like some sent out then please get in touch with the office and we will pop some in the post for you.

We have produced some social media resources that you can share on your socials to help spread the word during GBS and CIDP Awareness Month.

We will also be running a number of online meetings and webinars. Details of these are below. Some of the sessions are run by us, but we’ve also included sessions being run by our friends at GBS/CIDP Foundation International.

During GBS and CIDP Awareness Month, we would really love you to share your stories and experiences of your GBS or CIDP journey. Please feel free to send us a brief write up (no more than 250 words) or a short video and audio clip. We really want to hear about the impact of your condition on your life. But, we also want to hear positve stories and feedback on the GBS/CIDP community. You can send your astories to us at office@gaincharity.org.uk
