FREE breath tests are being offered to Darlington residents in a campaign to raise awareness of lung problems.

The tests will be held on November 16 to mark World COPD Day and will take place at the Dolphin Centre from 9am to 11.30am.

They have been organised by the Breathe Easy Darlington group who next meet on November 1 at 1pm at The Copper Beech.

There will be a question and answer session based upon what happens at Darlington Hospital to respiratory patients, led by Sue Evison, respiratory nurse specialist.
