Portsmouth South have lift off!
Congratulations to Breathe Easy Portsmouth South who on the 18th April held a launch party to celebrate officially opening as a Breathe Easy. Over 45 people came out to support the group including many friends and family of the members. The Lord Mayor of Portsmouth Councillor Paula Riches (pictured with Chair Eric Compton and Treasurer Sally Kendrick) joined the party and complimented the group on their hard work as well as revealing her own struggles with asthma.
Merry Christmas from Breathe Easy Portsmouth South
Breathe Easy Portsmouth South celebrated their first Christmas as a group in style with a meal at the Thatched Inn in Portsmouth. Guests were entertained by the magician Tom Beattie and the Thatched Inn enjoyed 
hosting the group so much they donated £50 to the cause (pictured Sally Kendrick receiving the cheque from Luke Rowntree).
World COPD Day
As part of World COPD Day on 17 November, the group held an awareness event at the Cascades Shopping Centre in Portsmouth. Members of the NHS were at hand to undertake lung testing.
The day was a great success, with dozens of people stopping by to both have their lung capacity tested and to gather information about COPD as well as other lung conditions.
