Our Support
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with (or even suspect a diagnosis of) Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), CIDP or another associated Inflammatory Neuropathies, GAIN are here to help.
We all know how difficult an illness can be, and when you’re dealing with a rarer condition such as GBS or CIDP, it can create even more complicated hurdles, questions and fears. These conditions can have life changing impacts on people’s lives, both in the short term and the long term, so GAIN aims to relieve as much pressure as possible with the resources we have available.
Access Peer Support, Online Group Chats, or information about Personal Grants at the bottom of the page.
If you have questions about GBS, CIDP, and another Inflammatory Neuropathy then either visit our Information Hub, or check out our accessible blogs that cover the basics. Can’t find what you’re looking for or just need to chat to someone? Get in touch with our office, and the GAIN team will be on hand to help with information, advice, and guidance – we’re here to support you.

Peer Support
We can help match you to someone with lived experience who will be more than happy to have a chat and talk about their experience and journey with a similar condition.
Online Groups
The GBS and CIDP community is amazing and supportive. We run a number of online groups on Zoom where you can meet up with other people. We also run a very active Facebook group where there is always in depth discussions, and people sharing their stories.
Personal Grants
If you need a piece of equipment, or need some help with paying for transport or parking to visit someone in hospital or rehabilitation, then we may be able to help.
