• Plaid Cymru Party Conference 25th of February, Carmarthen
• Conservative Party Conference 3rd, 4th, 5th of March, Llandudno
• Liberal Democrats Conference, 10th, 11th and 12th of March Wrexham
• Labour Conference, 23, 24,25th March, Swansea

If you are attending any of these conferences please come over and speak to us, we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have.

Assembly monitoring

We keep a close eye on Assembly business for any policies or debates, which may impact on the lives of people with asthma. Bookmark this page for the latest on Assembly business that could affect you.

Assembly consultations

We recently responded to the National Assembly’s consultation on smoking in public places, putting together a very strong case for a complete ban on smoking in all public places in Wales. We will keep up the pressure to ensure that a ban is in place in Wales as soon as possible.

Asthma UK Cymru will respond to all Assembly consultations that effect people with Asthma living in Wales.

E-campaigners

You can also influence government and policy decisions by becoming a member of our e-campaigners network. By adding your name to our current list of e-campaigns you can make your local MP or AM aware of the concerns people with asthma have both nationally and locally.
