Allergy UK is the leading national patient charity for people living with all types of allergy. Our vision is for everyone affected by allergy to receive the best possible care and support, with a mission is to raise the profile of allergy at all levels. An estimated 21 million people in the UK are affected by allergy, and this number is growing year on year. We work with government, professional bodies, healthcare professionals, and corporations, to promote awareness of allergy, and help improve the lives of the millions of people affected by allergic disease. Our dedicated helpline is there for people who need our help and support. Our free factsheets provide information that is often badly needed to explain the symptoms and triggers that people with allergy are dealing with every day of their lives.
