World Allergy Week is a global campaign of the World Allergy Organisation (WAO) which aims to raise awareness of the impact of allergy in our communities. This years' theme is 'The Agony of Hives – What to do when hives and swelling don't go away'.

AIFA is supporting this initiative through our 'wear a spot of red' campaign when we are asking our supporters to help raise awareness and funds to support research into allergy by wearing a spot of red or holding an event in their home, school or workplace.
