A group which helps people with lung conditions is hoping for help in breathing new life into their routines.
Redcar and District Breathercise offers exercise and support for people who suffer with chronic lung disease.
It’s weekly meetings give people the chance to not only boost their fitness but also to meet other people with similar problems.
Now it has signed up to the Gazette Wish Campaign to raise money to help it fund social events.
Tony Ridgway, of the group, said: “We are an exercise and support group for those with lung disease, and their carers, helping them to lead as full and active life as possible. “Being in the presence of others with respiratory problems, some on 24 hour oxygen, helps to gain confidence while our social events relieve isolation and depression.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-forprofit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community.
Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot. Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette. The last token will appear on January 21.
Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
Redcar and District Breathercise meets every Monday from noon until 1pm at the United Reformed Church, Station Road, Redcar.
To help them send your Wish tokens to: 26 Cambrian Avenue, Redcar, Cleveland, TS10 4HF.
