Marking COPD day

AN open day will aim to help sufferers of respiratory problems.

Community organisation BreathingSpace is hosting the November 16 event to enable people to understand more about lung conditions.

Based on Badsley Moor Lane, the community service for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory conditions will give advice on how to keep fit and healthy, as well as stopping smoking.

Held on World COPD Day, the event from 10.30am to 2pm will also see the official opening of the new BreathingSpace gym.

There will also be stalls, cakes and light refreshments.
