The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation was founded in 2019 by Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse after their daughter Natasha died aged 15 from a severe allergic reaction to sesame.
Through campaigning, education and research, the charity’s mission is to #MakeAllergyHistory and improve the lives of the millions of people in the UK with food allergies. The couple have both been awarded OBEs for their work around food allergy.
Neil Floyd, director at abm catering, said: “The work that Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse are leading is not only inspiring, but also ground breaking and we are proud to partner with Natasha’s Foundation to help them fulfil their ambition to make allergy history.”
Natasha’s Foundation is the only allergy charity dedicated to medical research. It wants to understand what is causing the dramatic rise in allergic disease - and develop ways to prevent, treat and ultimately eradicate it, creating a world that is safe for everyone.
Tanya Ednan-Laperouse added: “Food allergy is not a choice or a preference, it is a serious and unpredictable disease that can cause a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. So many people today are living with a food allergy, including one in 13 schoolchildren.
“We are delighted that abm catering is joining us in our mission to #MakeAllergyHistory. Its support is funding the important work we are doing to raise awareness of food allergies and carry out new scientific research.”
