About our support groups
These groups would not be possible without the incredible efforts and dedication of our Volunteer Support Group Facilitator, all of whom have lived experience of serious allergies. They will be organising and leading these events throughout the year. Each volunteer receives training and support from Anaphylaxis UK so that they can ensure their information and resources are evidence-based and to a high standard.
Our support groups have been developed to help ease the burden of living with serious allergies. Each group is a chance for you to share your experience and tips, and form new supportive connections with likeminded individuals or families.
