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.

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.

Lung conditions undiagnosed in thousands: our plea to the new government
Our research reveals that many people with lung conditions are being diagnosed too late, misdiagnosed, or are not getting the right treatment, leading them to become seriously ill and in need of hospital care. We’re issuing a plea to our new government to tackle this urgently.
