This EPAP Live webinar will take place from 12:30 to 13:45 CET on 20 February 2025 and focus on the impact of the Healthy Lungs for Life (HLFL) grants. Each year, ELF awards a series of €1,000 grants to organisations around the world to raise awareness of lung health.
The session will take place ahead of launching the 2025 grant series. It will include talks from previous Healthy Lungs for Life grant winners, who will discuss their projects and the impact €1,000 can make to lung health. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions in an interactive discussion. We hope that these stories will inspire you to run your own events and apply for the grants in 2025.
This informative and interactive event is part of a series of live webinars related to the European Patient Ambassador Programme (EPAP). EPAP is a free, online, self-learning programme that introduces patients and carers to some of the basic skills and knowledge needed to represent yourself and others successfully.
The event will be chaired by Katherine Wylie, Fundraising and Stakeholder Engagement Lead at Lungs Europe. Katherine will be joined by previous Healthy Lungs for Life grant winners who will speak about their projects and the impact €1,000 can make to lung health.
