This campaign focuses on the food service sector, so those who provide food in restaurants and eateries around the country. We want to make eating out easier for people with coeliac disease, which means access to safe gluten-free options that are clearly marked on menus. We have been working with this sector and raising awareness through our Gluten-free Chef of the Year competition, to get chefs and catering college students to plan gluten-free menus. We’ve also worked with industry specialists and created education tools to work with the sector in getting gluten-free dishes onto menus.

Great, we're so happy that you want to do some fundraising for us!

Our Fundraising Pack is full of great ideas and tips to make your fundraising a success! Once you have decided on your event, get in contact with our Fundraising Team for fundraising material including t-shirts, collection boxes, banners, balloons, posters and many more materials to help make your event a success. 

No matter how little time you can spare, there is always something you can do to help get our message across to others. There are other of people like you who have busy lives and other commitments, but lots of people doing a little, adds up. You could spend 15 minutes using a template to write to your MP, complete an online petition or survey, or, if you have a little longer, talk to your local restaurant about catering gluten free. Whatever you’re happy to do, it will all help to raise awareness about coeliac disease.

It’s entirely up to you how many hours you can give. There are a range of roles requiring different amounts of time – from long term involvement in the Local Voluntary Support Groups to one off projects.

Were you to organise an event as part of one of our campaigns, we would supply you with support materials. Usually, particularly for Awareness Week, we have an information toolkit packed with activity ideas. We also have balloons and leaflets which we can send to you.

Do let us know in good time when you’re holding an event as we can put it into our monthly email newsletter to help drive up your attendance numbers.

Coeliac UK volunteers have a range of backgrounds and skills but are united in their goal to help the Charity. We do not ask for any specific qualifications and no previous experience of volunteering is necessary.

The roles have been designed to be flexible so that you can tailor them to your experiences and strengths

Volunteering with Coeliac UK can offer a range of benefits. It can be a great chance to:

• meet new people
• build confidence
• try something new
• make a difference
• have fun!

Throughout your role you will be supported by the staff at Coeliac UK, where we will provide you with information, advice and updates throughout your time as a volunteer.

Campaigning is about getting people who can create change to listen to what you’re saying. This is a slow process which can often mean repeating the same thing in different ways, to the same audience. The more people that get involved in a campaign, the more impact it will have. We rely on local people like yourself, to help us make a difference in your local community. If a lot of people get involved in communities across the country, then the activity joins up and creates a national campaign.
