Getting a diagnosis of asthma can be overwhelming. Living with asthma can be challenging. We're here to help.
We aim to put people with asthma (and their parents/carers) at the forefront of all our activities. This includes supporting people with asthma at home but also in the school and workplace.
We strive to be the authentic voice of the 450,000 people with asthma in Ireland, representing their views and interests with policy and change makers at all levels.
Our campaigns aim to raise awareness about key aspects of living well with asthma, supporting people with the condition and their families.
Asthma Awareness Week is an annual initiative by the Asthma Society of Ireland, dedicated to increasing public awareness about asthma,

"I’ve found the Asthma Society such a huge support. I didn’t really understand asthma even though I had been living with it for years. I contacted the Adviceline and my asthma nurse has been incredible."
"I found the Asthma Society’s Adviceline invaluable, especially during COVID. The nurses were so helpful – not only did they schedule calls with me, but they also called me to check in on me, which was very comforting"
"The Asthma Society has been a huge help for Ethan and I. They have a treasure trove of information for anyone suffering with asthma. They also send out a newsletter each month with very helpful tips and advice, and they offer advice on how to properly take inhalers. I would highly recommend that anyone with asthma looking for advice or support reach out to them."
