Breathe GB

For the first time, health professionals have stated that air pollution causes reduced exercise capacity in children, and likely impacts their sporting performance. Imagine what the future of British sport could look like if we clean up our air and release our children’s full potential. Join the Breathe GB movement.

An invisible threat

Air pollution is one of the biggest health risks in the UK today. It’s been linked to asthma, lung cancer, and even dementia. This is a silent killer and we’re going to stop it.

Toxic air harms everyone, but especially children

Childhood exposure to air pollution can lead to permanently reduced lung function, and dirty air has been shown to affect the development of foetuses as well. This isn’t the Victorian age. Our children deserve better.

We can do this

We believe that families working together can make all the difference. We’ve got a plan to reduce air pollution in our local areas and put pressure on the right people at the top.

Meet The Team

We've been out on the streets

Air Team parents and kids hit the streets to celebrate the launch of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone.

We built a welcome arch and handed pot plants to commuters, to raise awareness about air pollution that the need for clean air zones.

We highlighted toxic air on school streets with our #StreetSignTakeover.

Air Team parents and kids across the country replaced street signs with new names incorporating chemical symbols for air pollution.

We joined forces with Great Ormond Street Hospital to mark Clean Air Day with a magical play street.

Air Team parents, teachers and children installed airplane style 'oxygen masks' at their local bus stops to highlight the toxic air on UK streets.

'Oxygen masks' dropped down from the bus stop when air pollution hit dangerous levels.

Parents and children played with the theme of airplane emergencies, by dressing up as cabin crew and handing out 'safety leaflets 'highlighting the dangers of roadside pollution and how to reduce your exposure it.

Parents and kids hit the streets in London, Leeds and Manchester to call for urgent action against air pollution.

We’ve launched Breathe GB to clean up Britain’s air and give our kids a sporting chance.

The pupils of Manorfield Primary School launched the Breathe GB campaign in East London (look at them being interviewed by the BBC!)
