THE Swindon Breathe Easy Support Group has celebrated its fourth anniversary.

It provides support to patients with breathing problems and offers advice on how to live with them.

Exercise classes are also held to help improve breathing.

The group meets on the third Friday of each month between 1.30pm and 3.30pm at the Dome, in Walcot.

The next meeting is on June 16 and the group chairman Peter Horwood, who suffers from lung disease himself, says new members are welcome.

Mr Horwood said: "It's been an interesting and successful year in which we have achieved much."

Members celebrated with a party and a cake.

June 10 to 17 is Breathe Easy Week Lungs Are For Life. The group will have an awareness stand in the Brunel Centre between 8am and 5.30pm on Saturday, June 17.

The group is looking for a new secretary to help make sure as many people as possible get advice.
