As we are the only asthma charity in Scotland delivering a very unique service, we are seeing increased demand for workshops from families battling poorly asthma and severe allergies.

“Good insight into Asthma, causes and treatment, course well put together, good length of course, not dragged out like some courses we have done in the past, very helpful to know what to do in an asthma attack, and I will recommend for all First Aiders”
First Aiders from CNR International
“As someone who suffers from Chronic Asthma, the training provided was exceptionally helpful. The training provides useful tools on what to do should an individual suffer from an asthma attack, is reassuring in tone, and may make the difference when faced with a potentially life threatening situation”
Director of People, University of Aberdeen.
