The Asthma + Lung UK Parent Carer Support Network

Do you have children or grandchildren who are 0-17 and living with asthma? The Asthma + Lung UK Parent Carer Support Network is a group for you. You are welcome to join us if your child has been diagnosed with asthma, or if you think they might have asthma. We will give you lots of help to manage your child’s asthma at home, in school and in after-school clubs.

How can we help?

Every month we get together in a relaxed and friendly online video call. We talk about the ups and downs of our children’s asthma journey with kind and supportive nurses and doctors. They can answer any questions you have about asthma. Our group is also a great place to meet other families of children with asthma, who understand what you’re going through. Join our mailing list and sign up to our next event here:

Free Seed Grow Pouch from Get Out and Grow (Children North East)

This Summer, Children North East are encouraging more children and young people to get out into the natural world and experience the benefits of being in nature.

Whether you live in a rural area with plenty of green space, or a city with a local park we are encouraging families to spend time together learning about the natural world.

If you would like to join in with the action, we are offering free Seed Grow Pouches to encourage people to Get Out & Grow! These handy pouches are small enough to thrive on a windowsill and will grow bee-attracting flowers which can be planted outdoors or in a pot, teaching children the cycle of seed to sproutlings to full plants, and how these play an important role in our biodiversity.

Sign up now to get your free Seed Grow Pouch, and make sure to send us some photos!
