Asthma + Lung UK’s Wallasey Breathe Easy Support Group is seeking a new volunteer to lead the monthly in-person meetings and play a vital role in supporting people with lung conditions in the community.
Asthma + Lung UK’s support groups are a lifeline for many people across the UK, offering practical advice, emotional support and connection for those living with lung conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchiectasis. These groups are made possible thanks to funds raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, helping to ensure people don’t have to face their condition alone.
The Wallasey group meets on the second Tuesday of every month, from 2pm – 4pm, at 2nd Floor, Wing C, Victoria Central Health Centre, Mill Lane, Wallasey, Merseyside, CH44 5UF. Meetings are held in person and include guest speakers, group discussions, and opportunities to share experiences and support each other through the challenges of living with a lung condition.
Now, the group is looking for someone who can step into a leadership role. The opportunity is open to anyone passionate about making a difference, whether you have a lung condition yourself, have supported a loved one, or simply want to contribute to your local community. No previous experience is required, and full training and support will be provided.
Katie Papas, Community Digital Engagement Manager at Asthma + Lung UK, said:
“The Wallasey group is a brilliant example of how community-led support can be life-changing for people. It's a safe and welcoming space where people can connect with others who understand what they’re going through, learn from expert speakers, and get support when they need it most. We’re now looking for a passionate volunteer who can help the group continue to thrive.”
“The role can be shared between two or more people if preferred. If you're enthusiastic about building a supportive community and can commit to a few hours each month, this could be an incredibly rewarding opportunity.”
