Blossom Awareness Week
31st March – 6th April 2008
47% of Parents Feel Their Allergic Child Is Being Excluded
In a recent survey Allergy UK revealed startling new facts that highlighted 47% of parents felt that their child had been socially excluded from activities. Allergy UK, through Blossom is fighting to address this and at the end of April 2008 a report will be launched to show the findings of this survey.

Our exciting Blossom Campaign is now approaching its first year. As part of our first annual ‘Blossom Awareness Week’, during April our supporters will be holding fundraising and awareness events - ‘Bounce for Blossom’ which are being held around the UK. These will be fun events that people of all ages and abilities can take part in.
This campaign from Allergy UK is aimed at helping to reduce the incidence of childhood allergy, and allow those children who suffer from allergic conditions to live a life supported by informed adults.
Blossom provides information to help to stop the social exclusion of allergic children, also to offer advice and support for those caring for them whether parents, child minders, teachers or voluntary group leaders. Blossom will work closely with all sectors providing information through publications, a website www.blossomcampaign.org, and immediate help and support from trained staff via our helpline.Muriel Simmons: 01322 611649/Mobile: 07795 694183
