Where this region covers Local groups Events Research Get in touch Where this region covers The British Lung Foundation's Bristol office covers the whole of South West England and South Wales, from the fishing ports of Cornwall to Cardiff and Swansea. More than 350,000 people in the South and West of England and 155,000 people in Wales have longstanding respiratory problems. The British Lung Foundation is helping find the solutions to their needs. The group in East Devon won this year's Breath of Fresh Air award for raising more than 5,000 for lung research. It helped me cope by putting me in touch with others in the same situation, which gave me moral support and information on where to get the most appropriate treatment.
Groups hold meetings, social events and allow people to share experiences.
For details on how to get in touch or if you want to help set a group in your area, please contact Sue Rumbelow in our Bristol office. Events Our Bristol office runs events throughout the year.
