The BLF supports people affected by lung disease through the individual challenges they face. Support is the focus of many of its activities, including a nationwide network of Breathe Easy patient support groups. The BLF aims to help people understand their condition by providing comprehensive and clear information and works for positive change in lung health through funding world class research, raising awareness and campaigning on behalf of people with a lung disease.
In 2007, Pfizer made payments to the BLF for their TV Advert Campaign, Meet the Patient meeting and in their role as UK Lung Cancer Coalition Secretariat, a separate organisation that seeks to improve lung cancer outcomes through joint working of industry, clinicians and patient organisations. A core funding donation made up the remaining funding for the year.
