02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Cheyne Gang is dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals living with long-term respiratory conditions. Through the power of community singing, we provide a supportive environment where people with breathlessness can gain control over their health and wellbeing. Our evidence-based “Sing to Breathe” exercises empower members to improve their breath control, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. Our singing groups are a catalyst for positive change, helping those with life-limiting conditions manage their respiratory health with confidence and optimism. We enable self-management, build resilience, and bring hope for a better quality of life.
