How to breathe and how not to breathe !

Rhiannon Kendrick gave us an interesting talk on different ways to control breathing. We all know how ghastly it feels when you have a lung condition and you get breathless. I know I feel out of control and it can be frightening.
the British Lung Foundation information leaflet explains it much better than I can, so check the link below and www.blf.org.uk to see all the other information there is free to download, or to be sent to your home.

Volunteer Award 2015

On Monday evening, surely one of the wettest and windiest evenings of the year, we were very proud to receive a Volunteer Award for our Breathe Easy group. It was given for the all round work we do in supporting people with lung conditions and their carers, for raising awareness at various locations and events in the area, Also campaigning work and fundraising.

 
 
The award was presented by Gwenda Thomas AM
 
It really was worth turning out on such a foul night
