International Coeliac Disease Awareness Day
Every year, National Coeliac Associations around the globe use this day as an opportunity to raise awareness among the public on coeliac disease and other gluten-related issues.
In different countries, campaigns and informative sessions are organized during this week to share information about the latest research, treatments, early diagnosis campaigns and diets that can help people with coeliac disease and gluten-related issues to improve their well-being and diminish the discomfort related to life-long rigorous treatment and diet.

Coeliac Day Run 2025 – A heartfelt thank you to all participants!
Since March 2022, the Association of European Coeliac Societies (AOECS) has been actively involved in funding food shipments to Ukraine. These efforts have provided essential gluten-free food to Ukrainian coeliacs still residing in the country, as well as to Ukrainian refugees.
To sustain and expand this vital support, we continue to raise funds for the AOECS Emergency Fund.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took part in this year’s Coeliac Day Run!
By running, walking or cycling, you have made a real difference and shown meaningful support for people living with coeliac disease.
