Support groups

The Liverpool Support Group was set up a few years ago by a few parents and a young person, and has blossomed from there.

The group meets every few months and all are welcome, with the children's ages range from infants to young adults.

The setting is informal and friendly, and is mainly a catch up over a hot (or cold) drink and maybe the odd biscuit.

There is an active WhatsApp group that provides supportive discussion for all members. There is always something being discussed, be it the challenges of school, holidays, eating out, or just the daily grind of families living with allergies.

This group is organised by Paul, who has a child with multiple allergies. It is the perfect opportunity to meet other people just like you in the Macclesfield area for a friendly chat, share experiences, swap tips and talk about what’s on your mind in a supportive and understanding environment. The group is open to adult allergy sufferers and parents of children with allergies. Attendance is free but please let us know if you are coming. For local information contact the host of the group, Paul – allergycheshire@aol.co.uk
