GAIN (Guillain-Barré and Associated Inflammatory Neuropathies)

Who we are

GAIN (Guillain-Barré and Associated Inflammatory Neuropathies) is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting people impacted by Guillain-Barré Syndrome and other related inflammatory neuropathies. We provide support, information, and advice to people impacted by GBS and other related conditions. The charity also carries out and funds research, as well as raising awareness around these rare yet life changing conditions. GAIN does not receive any government funding, instead we rely on donations and funding from the public to provide services, and to seek access to new treatments and tools to support people’s journeys through GBS, CIDP, and related conditions.

Our culture and values

We are a progressive, forward thinking, flexible charity. We put people at the centre of everything we do, ensuring we provide effective and impactful support for people impacted by life changing health conditions. We look after our staff and volunteers, providing flexible working, development opportunities, and the chance to make a real difference. We are a small but high functioning and effective team, building on years of impact, with a new and dynamic push for growth and improvement.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We champion equality, diversity, and inclusion across the organisation and beyond. We welcome and support applications from all walks of life, and in particular from people with lived experience of inequality. Where we can't act directly, we are happy to be allys.
