Deadline: 1-Nov-23
The Community Foundation for Staffordshire is seeking applications for the Breath of Life Grants for Individuals.
The foundation will help people with any lung disease: asthma, lung cancer, COPD (the umbrella term for conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema), Cystic Fibrosis, TB, Sleep Apnoea and many other less common respiratory conditions.
Children and Young Adults
- They help children with lung disease and have raised funds so that youngsters with Cystic Fibrosis can have a more comfortable and homely stay in hospital when they have to remain in isolation for some time. They have also provided funding so that babies and children can have the breathing monitors and equipment that they need to safeguard them at home. Respiratory equipment does not always cost a huge amount of money and some of the equipment that makes a big difference can cost as little as £250.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- The Breath of Life fund meets the UN’s Third SDG, Good Health & Wellbeing, through its commitment to supporting individuals with respiratory illnesses in the communities.
Funding Information
- You can apply for a grant of up to £500.
What you can apply for?
