SHINE
Shine and the SSBA are national charities working to support everyone living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, including their families, friends and the professionals who support them, across the UK. In 2011 the two charities launched the Go Folic! campaign, an initiative designed to let all women know that folic acid is required in the correct amount before conception and for the first 12 weeks of their baby’s development.
GO FOLIC!
The Go Folic! campaign uses social media, a bespoke website, printed literature, and presentations to spread the message that if all women took the correct dosage of folic acid, 400mcg daily, at the right time, ideally three months before conception, then incidents of spina bifida would decrease by up to 70%.
