Thanks to Anne for sharing details of this upcoming charity event. Ed
We are holding a Spring Fair at Newport Parish Hall in Town Lane on Saturday, May 17th from 11am until 3pm.
Our aim is to raise money to go towards purchasing some travel nebulisers to enable people with a lung complaint to go on holiday, and also to replace the treadmills and exercise bikes in the respiratory gym.
Great raffle prizes
There will be a variety of stalls there and we have been lucky enough to receive donations towards our raffle such as a cream tea at Bluebells, Briddlesford Farm, a cut and blow dry from Barnet Fair in Town Lane and a family ticket to the Owl and Monkey Haven, amongst many other things.
Do come along and join us.
Background on Breathe Easy
Breathe Easy was started in 2000 by Sarah Kearney, our Respiratory Nurse Specialist, and the main aim is to offer help and support to all Islanders suffering from any kind of lung complaint, ranging from childhood asthma to lung cancer.
It also carries out a course of rehabilitation exercise classes in the gym for people who have been referred to them, and has now formed Keep Active groups in the wider community for the growing number of people who are realising how much their health is improving under the care of our BLF instructor Andy Savage.
