Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis is a people-driven charity. We are here for you.
Who we are and what we do
APF is a national UK charity. We bring people together to drive change so more people affected by PF can live well for longer. People living with PF, their loved ones and the professionals caring for them are at the heart of everything we do.
We provide expert support, information, education, help a growing network of support groups and raise awareness of PF. We collaborate to drive change that improves health and care and provide vital resources to researchers to shape the future of PF treatment.
We estimate between 15,000 and 20,000 people a year are diagnosed with PF. Despite PF being as deadly as some cancers, it takes too long for people to get diagnosed, treated and supported. This shortens and devastates lives and leaves people feeling alone, confused and frightened.
Together we will stop lives being lost to pulmonary fibrosis.
