No matter what the season holds, we're with you all winter.

We know that winter is more than just cold snaps and long nights. If you're living with a lung condition, this season can be a difficult time. Cold air, seasonal bugs and viruses can all make symptoms worse. 

Why is why we're here to help you prepare and keep your lungs protected this winter. 

Everyone's triggers are different: some of us living with a lung condition might be worried about getting seriously ill with a virus like the common cold, or the flu and this can make us struggle to breathe. For others, it might be living in a damp or mouldy home that triggers your lung condition and makes it harder to breathe. 

For people with breathing problems, this isn’t just a season. This is life + breath. 

Having a lung condition during winter is like having a full-time job. The cold weather and viruses have a massive effect on my health and leave me struggling to breathe.
