What we stand for
We are fighting to transform lung health and make sure it gets the attention it deserves.
What we stand for
We listen to people with lung conditions to amplify their concerns and combine this with robust evidence to set out the issues that matter for lung health. Together, with campaigners and policy makers, we’re fighting for your right to breathe.
Clean air
We want everyone to grow up breathing air that doesn’t damage their lungs.
Vaccinations
Everyone with a lung condition should be prioritised for vaccines they need.
Health inequalities
The poorest people are most affected by lung conditions, we’re fighting to change this.
Access to medicines
We want everyone who will benefit from life-changing drugs to access them.
Accelerating diagnosis
We want everyone who needs a diagnosis to get one as quickly as possible.
Improving basic care
Everyone deserves to receive basic levels of care, but millions still aren’t receiving it.
Smoking + e-cigarettes
We want to see more funding for life-saving stop smoking services.
Pulmonary rehab + self-management
Everyone with breathlessness should have access to pulmonary rehab.
Severe asthma
Everyone with severe asthma should have access to the drugs and treatment they need.
End unfair prescription charges
We are campaigning for an end to prescription charges for everyone with asthma. No more #payingtobreathe

Maksim fights for his right to breathe clean air
Maksim has asthma and was only nine years old when he first started campaigning for every child’s right to breathe clean air. He first got involved when his mum Julia helped to launch a successful battle to prevent the local council from building a car park next to his primary school in Manchester City Centre. Maksim, now 14, has become one of Asthma + Lung UK’s most dedicated campaigners for clean air since then. Here he tells us about his journey to joining the fight for clean air.
