Asthma + Lung UK is working to create a world where good lung health and the ability to breathe freely are a basic right enjoyed by all
1-in-5 of us will get a health condition that leaves us struggling to breathe. Yet lung health in the UK is still sidelined, under-treated and under-resourced. Because of this lack of action, someone dies from a lung condition in the UK every five minutes.
Asthma + Lung UK is fighting to transform the nation's lung health. It's funding cutting-edge research and providing vital support to help those with a lung condition to live longer and live well.
Through its specialist helpline, Asthma + Lung UK supports thousands of people with lung conditions every year, providing them with expert clinical advice, information and a listening ear when they need it most. The charity's support groups helps people to manage their lung conditions and connect with others who really understand what they're going through, while its website offers accurate, up-to-date and easy-to-understand health advice for everyone living with a lung condition.
Together with campaigners across the UK, Asthma + Lung UK is fighting to make clean air a priority, give everyone who needs it better access to healthcare services and treatments, and increase investment in lung health research. Asthma + Lung UK leaves no stone unturned when it comes to finding a treatment, cure or a better way to diagnose lung conditions.
With the amazing support of People's Postcode Lottery players, Asthma + Lung UK can continue to fight for everyone's right to breathe – to create a world where good lung health and the ability to breathe freely are a basic right enjoyed by all.
