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.
Access to essential vaccinations
Everyone with a lung condition should be prioritised for vaccines they need.
Addressing health inequalities
The poorest people are most affected by lung conditions, we’re fighting to change this.
Access to the right medicines
We want everyone who will benefit from life-changing drugs to access them.
Accelerating diagnosis of lung conditions
We want everyone who needs a diagnosis to get one as quickly as possible.
Improving basic care for everyone with a lung condition
Everyone deserves to receive basic levels of care, but millions still aren’t receiving it.
Supporting people to stop smoking + vaping
We want to see more funding for life-saving stop smoking services.
Improving access to pulmonary rehab
Everyone with breathlessness should have access to pulmonary rehab.
Fighting for life-changing treatment for 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
