Back in 2016 Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, tragically died on a plane from an allergic reaction to eating sesame seeds that were baked into the dough of a baguette. The label on the packaging didn't include this ingredient on the packaging and they were invisible to the naked eye.
Subsequent to this, her family campaigned for better food labelling across the UK via Natasha's Law which came into effect in October 2021. The vision of the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation is to make allergy history. They want to prevent and eradicate allergic disease, starting with food allergy, and create a world that is safe for all individuals.
US2U Consulting Consultant and Artist, Kerwin Blackburn, has a severe peanut allergy and therefore we were pleased to have the opportunity to support the Foundation's work by donating a framed piece of Kerwin's artwork - a canvas print of Kerwin's original pop art painting - to the auction at the Broadland District Council Civic Reception in Norwich on Friday 14 March.
It was a lovely evening and the event raised £3800 for the Foundation.
"We really love our new piece of Beatles art" said Danny Snelling of Cloud Communications and IT provider, MT Comms.
