Breathe Buddies

Do you look after a child with a respiratory/lung condition?

Does the child have asthma, croup, bronchiolitis, regular chest infections, allergies (hayfever, dust, pollen etc)? Or maybe you are worried about your household environment affecting the child’s health, such as smoking, or mould and damp in the house?

Looking after a child with a respiratory condition can be overwhelming (and scary) so that’s where Breathe Buddies come in. Our Breathe Buddies are volunteers who can support, listen, and signpost you to the services you need. No judgement, no pressure, we are here to support you.

Join the Breathe Buddies Workshop! 

Join Breath Buddies for a spooktacular workshop!

We will be reading an interactive story, followed by some breathing exercises.

Children will have a chance to make their very own flying witch or bat to take home!

Suitable for all children aged 2 years and over

All children must be supervised by an adult

If you are worried or have questions about your child’s respiratory health, please come along to help empower and support your child feel more in control of the condition. We are not a clinical service; however we can listen, support and signpost to any help you may need.
