How Can I Fundraise or Volunteer?

Join over 600 volunteers and fundraisers who support our charity by dedicating their time to supporting HG sufferers.

Established in 2002, Pregnancy Sickness Support is the only UK registered charity that provides vital emotional and practical support for those suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), including a national peer support network, specialist counselling, and evidence-based information. 

We help you navigate medication and treatment options, we support you to advocate for better healthcare, raise awareness, and work to ensure that no one faces HG alone.

Our goal is simple yet profound: to alleviate suffering and empower healthcare professionals to treat this condition.
