Asthma and Allergy Foundation (AAF) is the only charity improving the health of the 368,000 people living with asthma in Scotland. Asthma cannot be cured but it can be managed.

In the UK, every 10 seconds someone has a severe asthma attack, and tragically four people die from asthma daily. But it’s still not recognised as a serious condition. 

When someone has an asthma attack, it is the person standing next to them who saves them, and how lacking is this life-saving knowledge amongst our family, friends, teachers, colleagues, including First Aiders, the very people asthma sufferers rely on for help when having an asthma attack. No wonder Scotland has the highest number of asthma deaths than the rest of UK/Europe, and 90% of these deaths are preventable.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation  launched ‘Be Asthma Aware’ campaign and I snow seeking businesses and individuals to sponsor their advertising billboards across Scotland to help raise awareness of asthma, a life threatening and life limiting condition that is so often overlooked.

Whether someone having an asthma attack lives or dies depends on the person standing next to them at the time and their ability to administer life-saving treatment. The charity also aims to deliver Asthma Awareness Training as part of this campaign to equip parents, carers with lifesaving skills.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation, Scotland’s only dedicated asthma charity, is offering everyone the opportunity to potentially save a life. Book an emergency response training today on our website

It costs £300 to deliver an in-person asthma workshop. A donation of £1,200 would enable us to deliver 4 workshops reaching potentially around 443 adults and children with asthma, their parents, and carers.
