South Yorkshire Asthma Friendly Clubs
Asthma is the most common long-term medical condition in children in the UK, with around 1 in 11 children and young people living with asthma. The UK has one of the highest prevalence, emergency admission and death rates for childhood asthma in Europe. Outcomes are worse for children and young people living in the most deprived areas. NHS England and NHS Improvement’s ambition is to reduce avoidable harm to children and young people from asthma and improve their quality of life.
NHS England » National bundle of care for children and young people with asthma
Schools, education partners and clubs across South Yorkshire are a significant part of achieving this ambition and form part of NHSE/I ‘National bundle of care for children and young people with asthma’. This work across South Yorkshire is delivered through the South Yorkshire Children and Young People’s Alliance.

Join us
It is important to start the conversation about asthma care in your club.
We look forward to your club joining many others and becoming Asthma Friendly.
We are also keen to collect case studies of clubs who have become Asthma Friendly and what impact this may have had on young people, parents and carers, or the community.
Steps to accreditation
Once you have completed the registration form, you can begin working through the 7 points of the Asthma Friendly Clubs Charter.
The Supporting Information for Accreditation of Asthma Friendly Clubs document has been produced to support you through this process.
When you have achieved the 7 points please complete the accreditation form detailing how you have achieved each point from the charter.
Once submitted, your accreditation form will be reviewed by the Children and Young People's Alliance Asthma Team.
If all 7 points from the charter have been achieved you will receive your Asthma Friendly Club accreditation and certificate. You may use the Asthma Friendly Club logo on your club socials etc.
Remember to renew your training and accreditation after 2 years.
