What we do
We’re the only UK charity looking after the nation’s lungs. With your support, we’ll make sure that one day everyone breathes clean air with healthy lungs.
We offer hope through research
We've been researching lung conditions for 30 years.
Today, it remains at the heart of what we do.
Our aim is always to improve care - and to prevent, treat and cure lung diseases.
"I’m very lucky to have been supported by the BLF throughout my career. Without the support of charities like the BLF, young researchers could never develop careers in these areas."
Last year, thanks to your help, we were able to invest £2.7m in vital lung disease research - our highest ever.
We help people affected by lung conditions
Having lung disease brings questions and anxiety about the future.
We don't want anyone to face that alone.
Our helpline, support groups, web community and easy-to-understand information offer vital hope and support.
"Our singing group is really vibrant. Singing helps you feel good. I’m extremely grateful to the BLF for funding the group."
You can talk to us about anything - from how to manage your lung condition, to going on holiday, or even just to say hello!
Our campaigns give you a voice
We aim to prevent lung disease by campaigning for positive change in the UK's lung health.
We're raising awareness about lung disease, the dangers that cause it, and how to look after your lungs.
"Lung disease is under-recognised and largely invisible. I hope the Taskforce’s recommendations will enable people like me to be heard. "
Jay, patient representative on the Taskforce for Lung Health
We’ve brought together the most influential voices in UK lung health to create a five year plan for improving lung health in England.
