Dolce partners with Natasha Allergy Research Foundation

Dolce Catering has announced a three-year partnership with The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation. The agreement will see Dolce donate annually to the charity, as well as supporting its vital research and education work.

The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation was founded in 2019 by Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse after their daughter Natasha died aged 15 from a severe allergic reaction to sesame. Dolce, meanwhile, works with over 650 primary and secondary schools across England and Wales, providing 125,000 meals for pupils every day.

'Hugely scary for parents'

Scott Curtis, managing director of Dolce Catering, said: “It can feel hugely scary for parents to put their trust in caterers to feed their child safely while they are at school. We’ve worked with many families to put bespoke allergen-free menus in place, implement staff training to ensure the kitchen space is kept allergen-safe, and set up communication channels so they are aware of how their child’s allergy will be managed.”

Nadim and Tanya Ednan-Laperouse OBEs added: “We are so pleased to have Dolce on board supporting us. It’s support like this that enables us to continue our medical research and campaign work.”
