Selfie time
Coeliac disease affects you in
your everyday life and we want
to place you at the centre of
the campaign. Order one of
our selfie frames and take
photos of yourself and post it
to social media as your profile
picture. Or you could take it
out and about with you and
share photos online of all
those getting involved with
the campaign.
Help us as we pop up around the country
We’ll be out and about at our diagnosis pop up events around
the country. These events help draw people to talk to us. With
1 in 100 people in the UK with coeliac disease, but only 24%
of those diagnosed, we’re bound to meet some undiagnosed
people at the events. We’ll have testing and information
on hand so that we can help and provide advice to people
concerned that they might have the condition.
