A free support group has been launched in Beverley for individuals or families with allergic children.
The group meeets on March 19 and morning will be an opportunity to meet others who either live with or have a child living with allergy and to share experiences and advice in an informal environment.
The support group is free, although donations are always gratefully received. Places should be booked in advance. The meeting is being held in Beverley from 10am until 11.30am.
Recent research has shown that allergies are on the increase. One in 50 young children across the UK has nut allergy, with specific peanut allergy cases tripling in the last decade. Other severe allergies include egg, milk, kiwi, latex and insect stings.
This group is being hosted by Caroline Souyad, our local volunteer; please feel free to contact Caroline direct for local information: c_souyad@yahoo.co.uk.
To book a place please contact Fiona Keown, 01252 546100 fiona@anaphylaxis.org.uk.
