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.
“Speaking to people who are surviving is why I’m so passionate about what I do.”
We invested £2.2m in vital lung disease research last year.
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.
“Help is always at hand. The British Lung Foundation's helpline, information and support groups are invaluable.”
We run 230+ Breathe Easy support groups throughout the UK for people with lung disease, their families, friends and carers
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.
"Future generations will look back on this and think of it as a monumental step forward for our health."
Our new taskforce is developing a five-year plan to improve the nation's lung health.
