Support Contact Network

Allergy UK has a nationwide network of support contacts who are happy to offer advice and support to fellow sufferers.

Our support contacts are a dedicated group of people who are themselves people with allergy or their carers, They are not medically qualified but give up their free time to help and advise others in coming to terms with the everyday problems they face.

Every allergy sufferer knows that having allergies can be a very frightening and at times lonely experience especially when you or your child has just been diagnosed. To be able to pick up the telephone and speak with someone who has had such an experience, can give you practical tips on everyday management and on things that have worked for them really can make an enormous difference.

Often it is just nice to know that similar things have happened to others and they have been able to get through that difficult time. The contacts themselves will not give medical advice, indeed this could be extremely dangerous, but they are a listening ear at the end of the phone able to offer sympathetic and practical help and support.
