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.

My motto is don’t let your allergies define you or your dreams! I hope to meet you soon at our next meeting.

Chesterfield, Derbyshire Support Group
“I joined Allergy UK incorporating Anaphylaxis UK as I felt emotional support for people living with allergies was lacking in my area, and I wanted to be part of changing this for families like mine.”
