Our Mission
Our Charitable Purpose
Official Charitable Objects
"To relieve the needs of people living with respiratory lung conditions and those who care for them by operating a support group providing information, education and support, primarily, but not exclusively for the North Bucks area."
This simple yet powerful statement guides everything we do at North Bucks Breathe Easy Group. We believe that everyone affected by a lung condition deserves access to support, accurate information, and a community that understands their journey.
As a registered charity (No. 1212194), we are committed to operating in accordance with charity law, ensuring that all our activities serve our charitable purpose and benefit those we aim to support.
A Future Where No One Faces Lung Disease Alone
We envision a North Buckinghamshire community where:
- Everyone with a respiratory condition has access to peer support
- Carers are recognised and supported
- Accurate health information is freely available
- Living with a lung condition doesn't mean living in isolation
- Communities understand and support those affected
