Breathe Easy Week

Breathe Easy Week is an annual campaign that raises awareness of lung conditions and supports people living with them. It is marked in June 2026.

When is Breathe Easy Week?

Breathe Easy Week is marked every June (June 17). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.

Why Breathe Easy Week matters

Lung conditions can make everyday breathing a struggle and leave people isolated. The week champions better understanding, cleaner air and stronger support for those affected. Explore community support volunteering.

How to get involved in Breathe Easy Week

There are three simple ways to make Breathe Easy Week count:

• Volunteer — volunteer with a lung health group or befriend someone living with a respiratory condition. Browse opportunities.
• Fundraise — organise a sponsored walk or activity to raise funds for lung health research and support.
• Raise awareness — share lung health information and help people recognise the signs of respiratory conditions.
