A GROUP which helps local people with breathing problems is welcoming new members.

People who have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or other related conditions can join Breathe Easy Aire Valley, which is the support group for the British Lung Foundation.

Their family and friends are also free to come to the group’s meetings. Breathe Easy Aire Valley’s next gathering is on Thursday August 2 in Steeton Methodist Church Hall from 1pm to 3.30pm.
