Support groups

Find a local support group

Support groups provide emotional support, information, practical guidance and signposting advice for anyone living with and affected by pulmonary fibrosis. Patients, carers, families and friends are all welcome.

Local groups operate independently of APF. We support a wide range of pulmonary fibrosis support groups across the UK and help raise awareness of them so that as many people as possible can access the support they provide.

If you would like to start a pulmonary fibrosis support group in your area, we can help. Read our guide to setting up and running a support group or email us at supportnetwork@actionpf.org

The network of local support groups are independent from Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis, and we have no responsibility for their activities. Please contact them to find out more about their group and to check when they're next meeting.

Keeping well this summer

During the summer months, hot weather combined with humidity can make you feel breathless. Hayfever and pollutants may also aggravate your symptoms of cough and breathlessness.

If you're concerned about this, please contact the group organiser for information about how group members are keeping in touch and how the group manages the hot weather.
