The National Society for Research into Allergy was founded in 1980 to provide reliable information and guidance for the person who has reason to believe they may be suffering from allergy or intolerance.

We also assist and impart information to GPs, hospital doctors, and members of other medically trained caring and teaching professions. We are also able to supply correct information to journalists, and to provide funding for academic bodies to research safe and effective methods of testing and treating allergy and intolerance.

Action Against Allergy was established in 1978 to help those suffering from any kind of allergy. Its aim is to advance understanding, awareness and recognition of allergic medical conditions and allergy-related illness, and the actions needed for research, diagnosis and treatment.

This is what this website aims to provide.

Allergy is a multi organ disease, affecting those who suffer in a wide range of ways. Frequently people have more than one symptom and the impact on sufferers lives can range from the mild to the very severe including long term illness and life threatening reactions. National Allergy Week was established to raise awareness of the seriousness of the disease and to highlight the range of problems that people with allergic disease have to cope with. With over 20 million people in the UK suffering from allergy at some time in their life, we have the highest incident of allergy in Europe but the smallest number of specialist clinics able to diagnose and treat the disease. It is therefore vital that people know that they are able to get help, advice and support from Allergy UK.
