On their website, you will find a wealth of articles and resources that provide people affected by coeliac disease, or other gluten-related conditions, with the information they need to navigate their condition.
The charity’s vision is to make allergy history. The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation wants to prevent and eradicate allergic disease, starting with food allergy, creating a world that is safe for all individuals. Their mission is to bring about positive change by focusing on medical research, law and policies, educating and raising allergy awareness. The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation was founded at the end of 2018, 2 years after the death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who died from eating sesame seeds that were baked into the dough of a baguette. Natasha’s family worked tirelessly on the implementation of Natasha’s law, which started following her inquest in September 2018 when her family were first made aware of the legal loophole in the food law that meant prepackaged foods made and sold on the same premises didn’t have to list their ingredients. Natasha’s Law came into effect on the 1st of October 2021.
The Sadie Bristow Foundation aims to continue Sadie’s legacy by inspiring more children like her to take up sports and through improving allergy education.

They also aim to improve access to specialist allergy nurses and spread knowledge about allergy awareness. Visit their website to learn more about the charity and their inspiring work.
