Chair
Asthma + Lung UK
London
Unremunerated
We have a long history, stretching all the way back to 1927, and the founding of the Asthma Research Council. In 1989 we became the National Asthma Campaign, which in turn became Asthma UK in 2004. The British Lung Foundation has been advocating, researching, and supporting people with lung conditions for over 30 years. At the start of 2020, Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation merged to improve the lives of people affected by lung conditions. We kept our external identities separate while we integrated the organisations and set out our first combined strategy. Now, as Asthma + Lung UK, our vision is for a world where everyone has healthy lungs. A world where lung health is prioritised through better understanding, research, treatment and support. We are dedicated to helping create a world where good lung health and the ability to breathe freely are a basic right enjoyed by all.
