Sir.-Make A Difference Day takes place tomorrow, whereby members of the public are asked to volunteer in their local community for just one day.

The British Lung Foundation, the only charity supporting the eight million people with lung conditions in the UK, would like to ask you to make a difference all year round.

By giving a couple of hours of your time each month, you could help run your local Breathe Easy groups - a network of support groups for people living with lung disease - by providing information, support and encouragement.

Volunteering for the BLF will strengthen our Breathe Easy network, which is vital to the charity.

This is a great opportunity to take part in a group that draws people together locally and has a positive impact on your community

If you would like to get involved, call the BLF on 020 7688 5576 or e-mail volunteer@blf-uk.org
