Breathing is a basic human right but people are still fighting for breath every day in the UK to stay alive.  Help us change these shocking asthma realities:

  • One person dies every seven hours from asthma in the UK alone
  • 500,000 people in the UK have severe asthma for which current medicines do not work
  • 76 more children are admitted to hospital daily because they cannot breath – that’s almost a staggering 28,000 children every year.

Asthma UK is the charity dedicated to improving the lives of over 5 million people in the UK with asthma. As well as being the main independent funder of asthma research in the UK, we provide vital information and life saving services to help people reduce the effect of asthma on their lives. We rely on voluntary gifts and that’s why your help is so important in the fight against asthma.

A gift from your salary can help us fund groundbreaking research to gain a better understanding of asthma and develop more effective treatments to those most at risk of a premature death. Act now and save lives.
