This festive season, you can help people everywhere breathe easier and live fuller lives. For those who do not live with a lung condition, learning how to protect your lungs can help you stay well and breathe freely. For those who do, understanding and managing it well can be life changing.
Donate nowBy supporting the ELF Festive Stars campaign, you can support our work through prevention, education and patient involvement. Together we can promote good lung health, provide reliable information for people with lung conditions and give patients the opportunity to share their experiences on a global stage. Your donation can also support prevention programmes which can help the next generation learn how to keep their lungs healthy.
You can donate any amount, either as a one-off gift or a monthly contribution. As a thank you for supporting the campaign, your message will appear as a shining star on our festive wall, showing your support for patients, families and communities around the world.
Any amount, no matter how small, will make a big difference to us. For those who can make a monthly gift we ask you to please consider doing so as this will help us to better plan for our future, making an even bigger difference in the world.

Our fantastic team of patients, volunteers, partners and office staff work hard throughout the year to make sure patients and the public have access to the latest knowledge and guidance on lung health. Thank you!
Thank you to the patients who shared their time, their stories and their lived experience with us this year. Your voices have shaped ELF’s education work, providing a wealth of perspectives to benefit people with lung conditions throughout Europe and the world.
Thank you to Hilary Hodge who has gone above and beyond in organising the Severe Asthma Patient Conference, helping to make sure the topics which are important to patients are included and bringing together experts with a passion to support people living with severe asthma.
Our team share research summaries and guidelines, translated into multiple languages and into an easy-to-read format. With every donation we can do more to ensure patients have access to up-to-date information about their condition.
To my fab parents, happy Christmas and may 2026 bring you all you dream of.
What makes ELF great is its people. Whether contributing to one project or staying for years, you can make an impact. The work matters, you matter. Excited for 2026!
Together we can create spaces for patients to come together to share their views and get involved in projects that can help improve treatment and healthcare.
Thank you to all the patients, organisations and professionals who have shared their stories with me this year. I hope 2026 will offer bigger and better opportunities to work together and raise awareness!
We are learning how to engage with young audiences. Your support will help us produce short patient films and increase the number of patient experiences on our website and information pages.
You can use your star as you wish. You could celebrate a recent achievement, an incredible friend or patient who deserves some recognition or festive cheer. You could also use this space to remember a loved one. This choice is yours!
