A Christmas story about inclusivity and allergy awareness

Does your child have food allergies? Have they been left out because of a lack of understanding about how to keep them safe? For Christmas 2021, Allergy UK launched its first short story for children to raise awareness on food allergies and inclusivity at this time of year.  

The story is an excellent way to broach the topic of inclusivity with children, and also a helpful resource to encourage those around them to learn about food allergies and the impact it can have on those who live with them. 

In our first ever story Buddy the Elf has serious food allergies and at first, his friends in the workshop don’t know how to keep him safe. Santa soon steps in to educate the elves and Buddy gets a really important promotion!

We hope that you will find this story an enjoyable, light-hearted but educational way to broach the topic of inclusivity with your children, and also a helpful resource to encourage the people around them to learn about food allergies and the physical and emotional impact it can have on those living with them.
