Monday, 16 February 2009 20:24

Coeliac UK has launched its new partnership with the National Trust in a campaign designed to raise awareness about coeliac disease and the consequences of maintaining a strict gluten-free diet when eating out.  Throughout May, a number of the 150 National Trust tea shops, cafes and restaurants throughout the UK will support Coeliac UK's 'Free for Tea?' campaign, with the campaign expected to reach thousands of visitors by the end of May.

According to the National Trust, their support for the 'Free for Tea?' campaign is in line with their previous leadership on many food issues, such as promoting local, seasonal food and using freedom food, free range eggs in all our cafes and restaurants. Through their support, they aim to help dispel the ignorance and misunderstanding surrounding coeliac disease.
