Breathe Easy is the British Lung Foundation support network. They provide information, support and friendship to anyone affected by lung disease. People with lung conditions and those who care for them, often feel isolated. Breathe Easy provides a good opportunity to be in touch with other people who have lung conditions. Breathe Easy has become an integral part of the support and care that people receive. It has also grown into a powerful campaigning force for change - through the work of people affected by lung disease. The network has 22,000 supporters and over 150 support groups and they are working to increase these numbers. The British Lung Foundation has a dedicated team to support and work with the Breathe Easy network across the UK.
