Chat with other families who ‘get it’
Relaxed online meet-ups with other parents and carers who are also living with allergy.
Think virtual coffee morning, where you can swap tips and share highs and lows.
Our meet-ups are informal, online get-togethers for the mums, dads and carers of food allergic children who are Family Members of The Allergy Team.
We meet on Zoom and encourage everyone to keep their videos on so that we get to know each other better. But don’t worry, if you’re feeding a baby or trying to get kids to bed, it’s a very relaxed gathering.
Family Member meet up dates for 2026
- Mon 5th January (8-9pm)
- Mon 2nd February (8-9pm)

Meet-ups for The Allergy Team’s Starting Primary School course
In addition to our general meet-ups, we also hold online get-togethers for parents and carers who are either currently taking part in our Starting Primary School course. These meet-ups usually take place on the second Monday of the month and are a brilliant opportunity to discuss topics covered by the course, to share tips and to talk through how school life is going!
Our Starting Primary School course is for parents and carers whose food-allergic children are about to start primary school. It covers everything you need to know, including what to discuss at your first meetings with the school, how to fill out medical forms and care plans and shares tips to help your child navigate lunchtimes and social situations. You can find out more here.

- Mon 12th Jan (8-9pm)
- Mon 9th Feb (8-9pm)
Please note, these sessions are only open to people who’ve taken part in our Starting Primary School course.
