This means supporting those with existing lung conditions to live full lives and doing everything we can to prevent more people developing a lung condition.

Rob leads the organisation’s influencing work on air quality, seeking to drive policy changes that will deliver clean air and protect people’s lungs. Over the past year, Rob has worked to influence the Environment Act, working in partnership with other members of the Healthy Air Campaign to ensure that legal targets on air pollution are as ambitious as possible.
