The Support Group was founded in 1985 by Glennys Sanders MBE. Its Headquarters are located at Sleaford in Lincolnshire, England. The Group was initially assisted by the GBS Support Group in the USA (now the GBS Foundation International) with which it retains a very close working relationship. The Group is a registered charity (No 327314) employing a part-time staff of two at its Sleaford office.
We provide information and support to those affected by GBS, CIDP and related conditions. Our support activities are restricted to the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. We spread awareness of the illnesses throughout Britain and Ireland and make grants for research projects.
