Anaphylaxis Awareness Week 1-7 October 2026
Everyone deserves to feel welcome, included, and able to take part without worrying that their allergies will leave them feeling left out.
That’s why this year it’s all about a sense of belonging and making sure people living with serious allergies have a seat at the table — whether they’re at school, in the workplace, on holiday, or eating out.
From 1 to 7 October, Anaphylaxis UK will be sharing resources, stories, and podcasts to help raise awareness, start conversations, and encourage better understanding of life with serious allergies. Please share the link below with your family, friends, colleagues, pupils, and patients, and help Anaphylaxis UK spread the message of inclusion.
As part of the Anaphylaxis Awareness Week campaign, Anaphylaxis UK are also inviting you to #wearitbright and show your support for friends, family, and colleagues affected by serious allergies. Together, we can help create a world where everyone feels safe, included, and able to take part.

Showing a #SenseOfBelonging with Trusted Information and Support
The worry of living with or caring for someone with serious allergies, may never fully go away… Having access to the right information and support can help to calm the fear and worry that can come with living with allergies and create a sense of belonging.
Having access to accurate, reliable information not only empowers people to feel more in control of their allergy journey, but it also helps to debunk some of the inaccurate information that is widely spread online, particularly on social media. Often with the best intentions, false information is shared which can cause unnecessary fear and panic.
So Anaphylaxis UK will be using Anaphylaxis Awareness Week 2026 as an opportunity to share accurate and trusted information and resources to ease the uncertainty that can come with living with allergies and create a sense of belonging.
