Love Your Lungs Week 2026

We are Asthma + Lung UK and we fight for everyone’s right to breathe

For too long, the nation’s lung health has been sidelined and under-resourced. Over the past decade, outcomes for people with lung conditions have not improved to anywhere near the same extent as in other disease areas, including cardiovascular disease and cancer.

• 1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition in our lifetime.
• Lung conditions are the UK’s 3rd biggest killer.
• The UK currently still have the worst death rate as a result of lung conditions, in the whole of Europe.

At Asthma + Lung UK, we are fighting for a world where good lung health and the ability to breathe freely are a basic right for all. From research and campaigning to advice and support, as the nation’s lung charity we are on a mission to change the way that lung health is perceived and transform lung health now and for future generations.

What is Love Your Lungs Week?

We rely on our lungs for every single breath we take. Yet, despite how fundamental they are, too many of us take our lungs for granted. Love Your Lungs Week is the opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of good lung health with your colleagues, all while fundraising to change the future of lung conditions in the UK.
