The North region covers a wide area, including Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Co. Durham, Cleveland, Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
There are 24 Breathe Easy groups across the region, which provide help, information and support to those living with lung disease, their friends, family and carers. Groups get involved with many activities from awareness raising to fundraising. Group members enjoy regular meetings with a variety of speakers. There is plenty of opportunity for a cup of tea and a chat. Most groups organise a couple of outings each year. Raising awareness of lung disease in their community is very important. With support from the BLF, groups campaign with their MP and in local media to improve local and national services.
Finding out about your local group couldn't be easier. All the groups in the region are listed on the North local groups page, and if you need any more information from the North Team please get in touch using the following contact details:
