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!
Breathe Buddies are joining forces with St Helens Family Hubs, for spectacular Lunar New Year crafts!
2026 is ‘Year of the Fire Horse.’ Join Breathe Buddies to make your very own fire horse complete with sparkly, fiery tail!
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.
