LIVE + BREATHE works to amplify and platform the incredible organisations working in our communities in areas outside of the traditional environmental spaces.
We collaborate as partners to plan and create art, culture and activities that involve our communities in moments of advocacy and education around clean air.
Alongside our founding community partners, we have also collaborated with the likes Olympic medal-winning Peckham BMX, Fight 4 Change, BLAM UK CIC (Black Learning Achievement and Mental Health), London College of Communication (UAL), Asthma + Lung UK, Breathe London, Abbey Road Studios, Philharmonia Orchestra, Orii Community and more.
Our work would not be as powerful and impactful if it wasn’t for the efforts, creativity and original campaigns by our Founding Partners. LIVE + BREATHE is proud to support their summer activities and creative clean air awareness activations, that fun, intergenerational and held in the heart of the community, free of admission fees. To find out more, read below and follow their wider work.
