The Breathe Easy Homes service addresses issues with indoor air quality in the home, which can trigger attacks for children who have a diagnosis of asthma or other respiratory conditions e.g. viral wheeze.
Housing / indoor air quality factors include cold, damp, mould, condensation and allergens such as dust mites and pet dander.
A referral to Breathe Easy Homes allows families who meet the eligibility criteria to access advice, support and equipment to reduce asthma triggers in their home.
