A catalyst for generational change
Our work to raise awareness of the seriousness of nut allergies has reached destinations around the globe, from Las Vegas to Dubai and across towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom. Our campaigning, educational material and fundraising have impacted communities both locally and nationally with the long-term aim to educate communities on the seriousness of nut allergies. Together, the importance of allergies will be second nature to the next generation, and then, the world will be a little bit safer.
“All therapies are privately funded through The Trust. The NHS has been marvellous but there’s a limit to what they can do. They’ve saved Amy’s life and we’re very very grateful.”
Amy's Story & The Amy May Trust
First broadcast in August 2017
Our work to raise awareness around the seriousness of nut allergies spreads across three pillars
We help & support Amy
The restaurant responsible for Amy’s tragedy held no public liability insurance, therefore no compensation could be claimed to fund the multiple therapies which are essential to allow Amy to rehabilitate and to maintain her comfort. Alongside education and raising vital awareness, The Trust meets 100% of Amy’s therapy and rehabilitation costs.
We educate
Through national TV and press coverage, dedicated information and resources for schools and workplaces, we channel our work into educating the public on the seriousness of nut allergies - to help prevent the tragedy which has changed Amy’s life from happening again.
We campaign
We work closely with The Department for Transport, governing bodies, industry and individual UK airlines to improve the safety of air travel for nut allergy sufferers. Our petition now boasts 350,000+ signatures and a growing list of airlines making a change, including EasyJet and Flybe.
