About UsWe are _a registered UK-charity (Charity number 1166445) representing and including people suffering from lung problems. We would like to repay the excellent treatment we have received from the local NHS Trust. We are also proud to announce that we are the official charity endorsed by the Mayor of Maidstone. Click here to go the the Maidstone Council page where the Mayor's official charities are listed.
In view of this, we are endeavouring to raise funds towards purchasing the latest, state-of-the-art equipment to help the local patients with lung problems. By having this equipment locally, it will greatly benefit our local patients in Kent and their carers to facilitate treatment without having to travel long distances to far-away hospitals in London as patients have done previously. |
VolunteersWe are always looking for volunteers to help with our fun-filled events. Old or young, volunteers from any age group are welcome.
