Breathing Matters

Pioneering research to fight pulmonary fibrosis and lung infection


Breathing Matters’ mission is to raise awareness and inspire fundraising for research into pulmonary fibrosis and lung infections. We strive to improve the lives of every pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis and lung infection patient by funding vital research into treatments and cures, and by improving awareness and knowledge of these conditions.

Founded in 2011, our philosophy is to ensure your fundraising donations are directed towards our research (not overheads), with over 90% of money raised each year going straight to our research.

Breathing Matters is part of UCLH Charity (reg 1165398).
