Anaphylaxis UK is the only UK-wide charity operating solely for the growing numbers of people at risk of serious allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. While there is currently no cure for anaphylaxis, we believe that through information, training, and support, there can be a brighter future for people living with serious allergies.
Our mission is to create a safer environment for everyone with allergies by working with and offering training for the food industry, schools, pre-schools, colleges, health professionals and others.
Anaphylaxis (pronounced ana-fil-ax-is) is a serious and often sudden allergic reaction. It is potentially life-threatening and always requires an immediate emergency response.
It can occur when someone with allergies is exposed to something they are allergic to (known as an allergen).
Reactions usually begin within minutes and rapidly progress but can occur up to 2-3 hours later.
If you have experienced a sudden allergic reaction in the past, then you may be at risk of anaphylaxis even if you have not had anaphylaxis before. We advise that you see your GP and ask for a referral to an allergy clinic. 
Here are some of the ways we support people to manage day-to-day life with a serious allergy.

Check with your school and ask if they have done our training.
