The Multiple Births Foundation (MBF) is an organisation in the UK which offers specialised support to parents of twins, triplets and higher multiple births and to give relevant advice and training to the medical, educational and other professional groups which are concerned with them.
The Foundation first helps parents to prepare for the twins' arrival and then to cope with the special difficulties that sometimes arise both for them and for other members of the family. It also helps twins themselves, including adult twins, to develop their full individuality while still valuing their twinship.
The Multiple Births Foundation is an independent charitable organisation which is mainly funded by charitable trusts and individual donations. About half of its budget is spend on its educational work with medical and other professionals and on promoting research.
