Asthma + Lung UK provides free resources, social media graphics, and fundraising packs. Try one or several of the following:

Sign up your workplace – Register with Asthma + Lung UK as a corporate supporter and access ready-to-go fundraising activities for in-office, hybrid, and remote teams.
Take a daily walk challenge – Many participants take part in a step or distance challenge across the week, with sponsors donating per kilometre or per day completed.
Quit smoking or va**ng – The single biggest step you can take for your lungs is to stop smoking. Use the week as a deadline and access free NHS quit support.
Test your lung age – Asthma + Lung UK and many pharmacies offer simple peak flow or spirometry tests that estimate lung age. Knowing where you stand is a strong motivator.
Improve your home air quality – Ventilate rooms regularly, avoid burning candles or incense in confined spaces, and consider an air purifier if you live in a high-pollution area.
Talk to your doctor about a cough – A cough lasting more than three weeks is a red-flag symptom that warrants assessment. Use the week as a prompt to make the appointment you have been delaying.
Donate or fundraise – Direct donations to Asthma + Lung UK fund the helpline, research grants, and patient advocacy. The charity’s website includes a JustGiving template to make fundraising easy.
Campaign for cleaner air – Air pollution is a major driver of lung disease. Support clean air zones, school streets, and local active travel schemes that reduce pollution at source.
History of Love Your Lungs Week
Love Your Lungs Week was launched by the British Lung Foundation in 2014 to bring more public attention to respiratory disease, which had long been under-represented in mainstream health awareness campaigns. The first campaign focused on the basic statistics of lung disease in the UK and encouraged people to take a free online breath test.

In 2020 the British Lung Foundation merged with Asthma UK to create Asthma + Lung UK, the UK’s leading charity for the country’s millions of people with lung conditions. The merged charity continued the campaign under the same name, building it into a high-profile annual fixture with corporate partners, hospital trust supporters, and celebrity ambassadors.

Recent campaigns have widened the focus beyond individual lung conditions to include the wider determinants of lung health, particularly air pollution and the effects of childhood exposure to dirty air. The week sits alongside other key dates in the lung health calendar, including World Asthma Day in May, World COPD Day in November, and World Lung Cancer Day in August.

On Sunday LCG Occupational Health Solutions Ltd was invited to speak at the st Helens workers memorial service.

The foundation raises funds and awareness for individuals that have lost their lives in accidents at work or occupational diseases.

Each of the hard hats on display represented an individual that has passed in the past year. 124 in the UK - although this number has reduced over the years it is still too many. It was good to represent occupational health and the contribution we make in reducing these figures.

Many individuals attended and supported the day including haydock brass band, a lone piper from Warrington Pipe Band, local councillor's, and foundation members

This service is an annual event

Occupational health skin checks are assessments carried out to detect early signs of work-related skin conditions, such as dermatitis, eczema, or allergic reactions, which can develop through regular contact with irritants or hazardous substances. These checks are especially important in industries where employees are frequently exposed to chemicals, oils, solvents, cleaning agents, or prolonged use of gloves such as healthcare, hairdressing, catering, construction, printing and manufacturing. By identifying issues early, occupational health can provide advice on protective measures, skincare routines, and safe working practices to prevent conditions from worsening. This not only helps protect employees’ long-term health and comfort but also supports employers in meeting their duty of care and reducing absence linked to preventable skin problems.

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is permanent damage to hearing caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of noise, often occurring in industries such as construction, manufacturing, engineering, and transport where loud machinery or tools are used. Employees working in these environments are at risk and require regular hearing checks to detect early signs of damage. Occupational health plays a key role in protecting workers by carrying out audiometry (hearing tests), advising on the correct use of hearing protection, and providing education on safe working practices. For employers, this not only helps safeguard the health of their workforce but also ensures compliance with legal duties under workplace health and safety regulations, reducing the risk of claims, fines, and reputational damage.

If your team work in a noisy environment and a risk assessment has identified the need for screening please get in touch with our admin team to discuss pricing and booking [email protected]

Occupational health wellbeing checks are workplace-based health assessments designed to monitor key risk factors that can impact an employee’s long-term health and wellbeing. They provide valuable insights into areas such as cardiovascular risk (using QRisk), weight management through height, weight, and BMI measurements, as well as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. These checks not only help employees understand their current health status and receive personalised lifestyle advice, but also allow employers to promote a healthier, more engaged workforce while reducing sickness absence and supporting productivity. LCG Occupational Health Solutions Ltd can attend the workplace to deliver these checks conveniently on-site, making it easy for employees to participate and for employers to demonstrate their commitment to staff wellbeing.

Please email our admin team for further information on pricing and booking this for your employees.
