Allergy Awareness week
Allergy UK is launching a powerful new campaign, 'I Wish I Knew…' for Allergy Awareness Week 2025 (April 21–28). The campaign begins by highlighting three things it is important for everyone to know about allergy, i.e:
- Allergies can develop at any age
- Allergies can exacerbate other health conditions, such as asthma
- Getting an allergy diagnosis is crucial — it’s the key to accessing the right care and support.
The aim is to ensure that anyone who may be affected by allergy one day can recognise symptoms early and seek support to control and manage their allergy. The right knowledge at the right time can change the course of an allergy journey.
