Welcome to NARA - The Breathing Charity.
NARA - The Breathing Charity is a registered working title of The National Association for the Relief of Apnoea. As our title suggests, we help those who have a problem breathing; from tiny babies through the age range to more senior members of the community. Since 1984, we have been able, with financial assistance from members of the public - such as you, to assist many who suffer or know those who suffer from various respiratory conditions.
Through the pages of this website, you will be able to get a feel of what we do, who we help, and how we help. This help is not always tangible. Whilst we provide various items of medical equipment to assist with a variety of conditions, we also offer both palliative care and 24 hour Community Care Programme where patients, their family, or carers can get help should they need any support, advice, or help should their equipment become defective in any way.
The fundamental reason we are able to continue our work is due to financial support from public donations and fund-raising. There are many ways in which you can help raise funds and your imagination is the only limit. Please look at the Funding and Fundraising pages or call us to get involved.
Please feel free to download a pdf copy of our Information Leaflet or Airway Magazine, of course, if you need any questions answered do not hesitate to contact our office on 01604 494960 or email us at info@thebreathingcharity.org.uk. If you know of anyone who may benefit from the help we offer, again call the office for further details.
