Keeping well this winter
During the colder months, there might be a higher risk of catching coughs and colds when meeting face-to-face. 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 infection risk.

Read more about managing pulmonary fibrosis in cold weather.

The Learn and Share Group is an information sharing and social group to support the South Asian community in Leicester. Language support is available in Hindi and Gujarati.

Anyone affected by pulmonary fibrosis is welcome to join the meetings, including family members, friends and carers.

There is also a WhatsApp Group where you can connect with other people affected by pulmonary fibrosis.
