Campaign with us

Together, we're campaigning for better lung health.

1 in 5 people in the UK will live with a lung condition in their lives. Lung conditions are the UK’s third biggest killer and cost the NHS billions every year. Toxic air contributes to 43,000 deaths in the UK per year. 

We need to change this. For far too many people, this is life+breath. 

Join us as a campaigner and help us fight to fix respiratory care, invest in life-saving research into lung conditions and clean up the toxic air which is stunting the growth of our children's lungs. 

Together we are stronger. 

Air quality targets

We’re calling on governments across the UK to adopt bold air quality targets to protect future generations from the health harms of air pollution.
