Introducing #FFFA19 #FreeFrom Hero #3 Lucy Finnemore at Higher Lank Farm Holidays: Lucy started catering for families with #allergies over 10 years ago after a mum contacted her to ask if she could help and her passion and knowledge developed from there. She takes clear and meticulous steps to keep all her meals safe and free from cross contamination. “I don’t think you realise how keyed up you are by food all the time, until you don’t need to be. We are now completely relaxed in Lucy’s care, which is just brilliant. We know she gets it – she understands cross contamination and ‘may contains’, and is immensely reassuring in her manner.” https://www.freefromfoodawards.co.uk/shor tlist-19.html#hero

Managing Anxiety following Anaphylaxis Clinical psychologist Polly James works at the Evelina London Children's Hospital at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. She advises on how to manage the anxiety that all but inevitably results from an anaphylactic episode. Although Polly is talking mainly about children suffering anaphylaxis, many of the strategies that she suggests could be equally useful for adults. https://www.foodsmatter.com/…/managing- anaphylaxis-James-02…
