Join the Users and Carers Advisory Forum

Young Asian woman
Asthma UK is offering people affected by asthma a unique opportunity to help influence the charity’s work.

We believe that listening and responding to the needs of people affected by asthma is hugely important and our new forum is an important way to do this.

Meeting four times a year, the Users and Carers Advisory Forum will provide a communication channel between people with asthma, carers of children with asthma and Asthma UK staff and Trustees.

Members will be asked to attend and contribute to these meetings, as well as engaging in email discussions where necessary. In addition, they may be asked to act as case studies, ambassadors and spokespeople for the charity when appropriate.

This is your chance help make a real difference to the lives of people with asthma.

A key objective of the forum is that it reflects the diversity of all people with asthma. If you express an interest in joining we will ask for details of your age, ethnic background, gender, geographical location and severity of asthma symptoms. Please note that healthcare professionals will be excluded from the forum.
