As a team we know the only treatment for coeliac disease is a strict gluten free diet. At the same time, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy great food that is safe for them to eat. We’re inspired by children like Felix, who tells his story here.

Thank you Felix, for sharing your story, and thank you to the chef at his school for doing such a great job to support Felix and those like him with coeliac disease. Your stories inspire us to get out and help, not only during #ShineALightOnCoeliac week, but every day.

#ShineALightOnCoeliac

#ShineALightOnCoeliac week is over for 2021, and what a week! Our team highlights…

The team raised £675 walking, running and cycling over 350km of the hills, valleys, woodlands, and canal paths of Britain over the course of the a week. Thanks to everybody who supported and participated.

Matt, Zoe, Jonny, Kerry and Louise: Some of the DBD Team #ShineALightOnCoeliac 2021

On Friday, we held our online gluten free pizza cooking party, and we were delighted to have Annette and Helen from Coeliac UK to join us.

Friday evening was our gluten-free beer tasting, where a dedicated team endured the tasting of nine different gluten free beers to accompany the pizza we’d cooked earlier in the day. See the video for the pizza recipe.

Thank you to everyone that joined in this week. Whether you put on an orange tee-shirt, joined a team member for a run or walk, or made a donation to this amazing charity, thank you. You did your bit.

Anybody still wishing to donate can do so here.
